I have copied and pasted the rule on service below.Since family law is a civil matter, I believe this is what you want. If I am incorrect please let me know.

Quote:
Fla.R.Civ.P 1.080

(b) Service; How Made. When service is required or permitted to be made upon a party represented by an attorney, service shall be made upon the attorney unless service upon the party is ordered by the court.
Service on the attorney or party shall be made by delivering a copy or mailing it to the attorney or the party at the last known address or, if no address is
known, by leaving it with the clerk of the court. Service by mail shall be complete upon mailing. Delivery of a copy within this rule shall be complete
upon: (1) handing it to the attorney or to the party, (2) leaving it at the attorney's or party's office with a clerk or other person in charge thereof, (3) if there is no one in charge, leaving it in a conspicuous place therein, (4) if the office is closed or the person to be served has no office, leaving it at the person's usual place of abode with some person of his or her family above 15 years of age and informing such person of the contents, or (5) transmitting it by facsimile to the attorney's or party's office with a cover sheet con¬
taining the sender's name, firm, address, telephone number, and facsimile number, and the number of pages transmitted. When service is made by
facsimile, a copy shall also be served by any other method permitted by this rule. Facsimile service occurs when transmission is complete. Service by
delivery after 5:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. (emphasis added)
