In 1997 I went through a divorce in Arizona. My ex-wife filed the papers but failed to serve me a subpoena. the day after the court proceeding she informed me that I had missed the court date that I had not been informed of. During the proceeding she lied about my income. stating that I made more than what my income actually was the courts set my child support at $675 a month and granting me only visitations. I have no problem paying child support within reason. up until 2001 I was sending her $350 a month with an agreement with a case worker from child support enforcement that she provide money order receipts that I was paying the $350 a month. She stopped taking those receipts and child support enforcement went all the way back to 1997 placing my child support in arrears of $50,000 and sticking me with $1000 a month taken out of my income. this has caused me a great deal of hardship Leaving me homeless numerous times.

What is it you're asking? Your question doesn't really make much sense. There are plenty of rules regarding service of subpoenas. What state are you in? What kind of subpoena? Who's failing to serve?

In my state, serving subpoenas is done by deputy county sheriffs. They have to make a concerted effort to locate the respondent. The time limit for service is posted on the subpoena, usually 30 days, then the respondent has 20 days to answer.
If the respondent is out of state, the subpoena is served from the Secretary of State of the home state, to the Secretary of State where the respondent resides.

If you don't receive the subpoena, you are not at fault. I would go to the court house and apply for a new court date in regards to your case number. Makesure you have all the paperwork to prove your past income and payments, also makesure that your ex-wife gets the subpoena you are now going to be giving her. If you have an attorney, have them make the arrangements, but have the Sheriff's officer deliver it to her so there would be proof that she received the subpoena!
Good luck with this
