Question

When serving a 17yr old mother a summons with child custody papers, who gets served?

Answer

The 17 year old mother gets served. She is the party to the case. If the mother (as a minor) decides to request the court for a Guardian ad litem, she can do so. But that is for her to deal with.

Answer

You serve the 17 year old mother, unless she has already appeared in the case and has an attorney.
