"My mom rented a house an hour from our house, got a job down there, and moved all the stuff possible without dad noticing (all the kids' stuff, her winter clothes, all the holiday stuff, furniture she told him she tossed out). The movers showed up at 10, and we were outta there by 1. He nearly shit himself. LOL. (He was evil, so I did not feel sorry for him and knew my mom could sleep peacefully from then on, and so could we kids.) She executed that deal like a boss."
"...Almost every day for about three months, I received a voicemail message from the security guard at the front door stating that there was a gentleman here to see me. This started in January, and by the end of March, the security guard and I were trying to figure out who this clown was. He wouldn't give any info about why he was showing up almost daily, his clothing gave nothing away, and looking at security camera footage, I couldn't identify the visitor. And then one day, I received an unexpected call from my 'husband.' What a surprise, turns out the stranger was a process server, and he had been trying to serve me divorce papers as my husband and the nanny were planning to get married in October of that same year. I could hear the panic in his voice because even after I was served, I could still drag my feet through the court system, thereby derailing their wedding plans..."
Many divorces involve deliberate, sometimes theatrical methods of serving papers aimed at surprising or undermining the other spouse. One spouse secretly rented a new house, moved children’s belongings and furniture early in the morning, and left the other spouse stunned at discovery. Other instances show persistent process servers visiting a building daily for months until contact was made, revealing attempts to prevent remarriage or delay court outcomes. Tactics ranged from pragmatic, safety-driven relocations to panic-inducing confrontations. The described scenarios emphasize careful planning, secrecy, and significant emotional impact on the individuals involved.
