Serving documents when there is a no contact order

Q: I cannot have contact with her, so I assume I could pay a court officer
to serve her the papers.

A: If you are subject to a court order requiring that you have no contact
directly or indirectly with her, you may want to seek legal advice before
having her served as this may be considered indirect contact. Usually such
orders allow for an exception if the indirect contact takes place through
legal counsel. We do not believe court officers will serve the papers on
your wife for you under any conditions. There are professional document
servers you can hire to serve your wife. Here's a link to such a site
