What do I do if he won't sign the acknowledgement of receipt of summons?

I'm assuming they were mailed to him and he hasn't responded. You will have to contact your lawyer. He will have to hire a professional process server that will deliver the papers to him personally at his place of employment or his residence.

It's hard to see the road ahead if you're always looking in the rear view mirror.

I think I remember you saying you're working on this without laywers. If so, you can google "process servers in ..." for your area. They're expensive, but very necessary in these cases.

Did you serve WS? They basically have to sign if they are served.

In most states, you cannot serve the other party.

Did a process server serve the paperwork on him? If so, they normally file a form that indicates they served the individual.

Thanks. Yes, Gemeni, no lawyers. I had to call around today, apparently I can have the sheriffs office serve for $30 an attempt.

Well then, since he's deciding to make you spend money to have him served, make sure that you send the process server where he is sure to find your STBX. Like, at his work.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.
