Legal and process serving
Family Court affidavits of service, with the parties, the lawyers and the right boxes.
Spirit reads the ServeManager job and the served documents, then drafts the Form 6B affidavit of service in your own template with the court, the file number, the parties and their lawyers. Family Responsibility Office files, evading service included, have templates of their own.
The work today
Family files carry more names than most: applicants, respondents, their lawyers, and a bundle of forms served together. The affidavit has to name all of them correctly.
Service on the person, on a corporation, on a lawyer, or by leaving a copy with someone else each ticks different boxes on Form 6B, and every box has to agree with what the server recorded.
How Spirit does it
It reads the job
The attempt, the person served, the address, the time and the server, from one ServeManager lookup.
It reads the served documents
The application's first page gives the court, the file number, the parties and the lawyers. For a Family Responsibility Office bundle, its table of contents lists every document served.
It ticks the right boxes
Personal service, service on a corporation, or a copy left with a lawyer or another person. The boxes and the names follow the attempt.
It fills your template
Form 6B, or the Family Responsibility Office affidavit for personal, alternate or evading service, saved as Word and PDF.

Questions
- Does it handle Family Responsibility Office files?
- Yes. FRO affidavits have their own templates, for personal service, alternate to personal service and evading service.
- How does it know which boxes to tick?
- From the service type the server recorded. A copy left with a lawyer, for example, ticks the lawyer boxes and names the lawyer.
- Can it draft several affidavits from one job?
- Yes. One is drafted for each successful attempt, each named so your team can tell them apart.
- Who swears it?
- Your process server. Spirit drafts it from the record, and a person reviews it and swears it.
