RCW 4.28.080(11)<\/a>
\n<\/strong> If against a minor<\/a> under the age of fourteen years, to such minor<\/a> personally, and also to his or her father, mother, guardian, or if there be none within this state, then to any person<\/a> having the care or control of such minor<\/a>, or with whom he or she resides, or in whose service he or she is employed, if such there be.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: A “minor<\/a>” for the purposes of this statute is a person<\/a> under the age of fourteen years of age.  This comes from the laws as created in the very early history of our state and certain case<\/a> decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two services are required. One to the minor<\/a> “personally” and the other to the minor<\/a>’s father, mother, or guardian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not present the minor<\/a>’s copy to anyone except the minor<\/a> him or her self.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately we lack guidance from the wording of the statute or any based on case<\/a> decision, therefore it is best practice<\/a> to present the documents personally to the father, mother, or guardian.<\/span><\/p>\n

The statute goes on to account<\/a> for situations where there is no father, mother, or guardian “within this state” by allowing service on “any person<\/a> having the care or control of such minor<\/a>, or with whom he or she resides.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, and interestingly, this second service may<\/a> be accomplished by presentation to the person<\/a> “in whose service he or she is employed, if such there be.” This last is another example wording seriously out of step with current society.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: In hand service to the minor<\/a> is required. Abode service may<\/a> be allowed on #2 through #7 but do not leave their copy with the minor<\/a> being served.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: Extreme caution should be used if someone, not fitting these descriptions, says they have been “authorized” to accept service.<\/span><\/p>\n
