What does it mean when someone says they have been served in a Florida family law case? This means papers related to a lawsuit filed against a defendant have been delivered to the defendant. Service of process in Florida has certain requirements. If delivery of the lawsuit papers is not performed according to the Florida Statutes, the person who is alleged to have been served may have a reason to challenge the validity of the service of process. This was an issue in the case Capasso v. Buchanan, 4D2023-1397 (Fla. 4th DCA January 17, 2024).
