C.R.S. Section 26-13.5-104
Service of notice of financial responsibility

(1)

The delegate child support enforcement unit shall serve a notice of financial responsibility on the APA-respondent at least fourteen days prior to the date stated in the notice for the negotiation conference:

(a)

In the manner prescribed for service of process in a civil action; or

(b)

By an employee appointed by the delegate child support enforcement unit to serve such process; or

(c)

By certified mail, return receipt requested, signed by the obligor only. The receipt shall be prima facie evidence of service.

(2)

Service of process to establish paternity and financial responsibility may be made under this article by certified mail as specified in subsection (1) of this section or by any of the other methods of service specified in said subsection (1).

(3)

If process has been served pursuant to this section, additional service of process is not necessary if the case is referred to court for further action or review.

(4)

An APA-respondent may waive service by signing a waiver of service of process and thereby waives the fourteen-day notice period required by subsection (1) of this section.

(5)

Service of process on the APA-petitioner is not required. The APA-petitioner voluntarily submits himself or herself to the jurisdiction of the delegate child support enforcement unit and the court in connection with any APA case.

(6)

A copy of the notice of financial responsibility must be provided to the APA-petitioner by first-class mail, hand delivery, or electronic transmission if agreed to by the APA-petitioner, at least fourteen days prior to the date of the negotiation conference. The APA-petitioner may waive the right to this fourteen-day notice period.
