I was named in a civil lawsuit in Kentucky. I no longer live there and live in another state. Of course they have been trying to locate me and serve me for 6 months, today at my home address of my parents they get a certified mail from the Sec. of State of Kentucky and its a summons. Is this legal service or do they physically have to serve me the summons? I have never heard of being legally served via USPS...
Thanks

Thanks for the link to louisville law. My step mom signed my dang name! And after reading the link, and since I live out of state- i believe it to be valid. Well except for the part that the USPS released it not to the adressee... Thanks USPS

Not enough info. You may be served "constructively" by publication and/or US mail if you did anything that permits service under one of Kentucky's "long arm statutes." Suggest you contact a Kentucky lawyer.

There is insufficient information to answer this question definitively.
I would look carefully at Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure 4.04, 4.05, 4.06. 4.07 and 4.07. You might be "constructively served."

Chat with a member of the Kentucky state bar as soon as possible.

That is a question that should be asked of a lawyer. Any advice you get online is worth exactly what you paid for it.
i.e. nothing
