Description

Service by Publication Instructions Wisconsin Service by Publication Instructions is a method for providing legal notice to a defendant who is not readily available to be served. This is done by publishing a legal notice in a newspaper designated by the court. With this method, the defendant can be given notice of a lawsuit without having to be physically served with the documents. There are two types of Wisconsin Service by Publication Instructions. The first is a summons and complaint, which is used to initiate a civil court action. The second is a notice of default, which is used when a defendant has not responded to a summons and complaint. Both types require the same steps to be taken in order to provide legal notice to the defendant. The first step is to file a motion for service by publication with the court. The motion must include the name of the newspaper in which the notice will be published. The court will then issue an order allowing the plaintiff to publish the notice. The next step is to prepare the notice for publication. The notice must contain the name of the case, the court in which it was filed, the names of the parties involved, the date of the order allowing the publication, and a statement that the defendant has 20 days from the date of the notice to answer the complaint. The notice must then be published in the designated newspaper for three consecutive weeks. The third and final publication must be at least 20 days before the date that the defendant has to answer the complaint. Once the notice has been published, the plaintiff must then file a proof of publication with the court. The proof of publication must include the name of the newspaper, the date and time of the publication, and the name of the case. Wisconsin Service by Publication Instructions is used when a defendant is not available to be served in person. By following the instructions, a plaintiff can give legal notice to the defendant and proceed with the lawsuit.
