{UAH} Response to NYENDE: UNAA/Divorce by Facebook

Mr. Nyende,

I can't go that route.  When the police called Mr Brian Kwesiga last week, he actually told them to serve him via email and hung up on them!  They immediately called him back but he refused to answer.

Alternative service is expensive (keep in mind that we had budgeted on $200 for all service!).

We paid over $160 to serve Mr Gaburungyi (normal fee is $80 and but the police added $80 for the extra work that the police had to put in to locate him). I anticipate to spend over $160 to serve Mr. Kwesiga too (the normal Texas fee of $75 plus Maryland fees and court fees). 

We run into similar problems trying to serve Ms Aisha Ogwang but the Texas police found an alternative means that will not cost us extra. She will be served at the normal Texas rate of $75. Whew!

thanks

Ellanora Arthur Baidoo has been trying to divorce her husband for several years, according to her attorney, Andrew Spinnell. 

But, Spinnell said, he and his client haven't been able to find Victor Sena Blood-Dzraku to serve him the papers. Baidoo has been able to reach her husband by phone and "he has told her that he has no fixed address and no place of employment," according to court documents. 

"He has also refused to make himself available to be served," the document said. 

After exhausting other ways of serving him the papers, Spinnell filed an application asking for "service by alternate means," in this case, via social media. 

In his decision, Justice Matthew Cooper said the "advent and ascendency of social media," means sites like Facebook and Twitter are the "next frontier" as "forums through which a summons can be delivered."
