Re: Proof of Service
The term "related to the documents" is ambiguous, so I'm not sure what you are asking. Anyone over the age of 18 who is not a party to the case can serve documents, and family members are treated just like anyone else. If the particular family member you have in mind is also a party then she can't serve papers for you. Otherwise she can.

In addition to the rule that a party cannot serve documents, a person named as a protected person on a restraining order cannot also serve documents.
