So I asked my wife to sign an Acceptance of Service, which she refuses to do. So I told her I'd send a friend to serve her. She stated that if I send anyone I know to serve her, she wouldn't accept the documents.
According to Utah law, Rule 4 (1) (d) The summons and complaint may be served by any person 18 years of age or older at the time of service and not a party to the action or a party's attorney. If the person to be served refuses to accept a copy of the summons and complaint, service is sufficient if the person serving them states the name of the process and offers to deliver them.
If this is the case, can I file a motion for default judgment? My wife put me in such a horrible spot, I literally can't even afford a server, so it's best, and more affordable to use a friend. Especially if I can file for the motion.
