What to do if the person is avoiding service. Avoiding process service in Arizona only prolongs the inevitable and irritates the Judge. It is better to receive the service and get in front of the issue drawing you into court. Avoiding service will not make the problem go away, it makes the problem worse.
The best ways to keep your defendant from avoiding process service is to keep that fact to yourself until after they are served. When some people find out they are going to be served they will hide. If at all possible try not to let them know the service is coming.
