Under the DFVP Act , section 184 (4) , personal service on a respondent is not required in particular circumstances if the respondent is present in the DFVP court when an order is varied or made. However, if the person does not accept the document or copy, the person serving it may serve it by putting it down in the person’s presence and telling the person what it is.
