In the US law enforcement can serve them for a fee. Google your town and "process servers"...I'm served subpoenas all the time (for work) And I believe the woman once mentioned she gets $35 each time. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. You'd think he'd want his daughter to experience some good lifetime memories. Sounds like he has a case of bitter beer face to me. I'm glad you had help completing all the paperwork...such a daunting process but it will be time well spent. You'll have a great time on your trip and so will she!!
