Which of the following services does NOT typically require a service fee?

Domestic Violence Protective Orders (50B) are designed to provide immediate protection to individuals facing domestic violence situations. One important aspect of these orders is that they are predominantly aimed at ensuring safety for the victims, often leading to their filing being free of service fees. This encourages individuals in dangerous situations to seek help without the additional burden of financial costs.

In contrast, other types of civil processes, such as subpoenas, writs, and summonses, typically do require service fees. These fees cover the administrative and operational costs associated with the processing and serving of legal documents. The absence of a fee for protective orders reflects the legal system's recognition of the urgency and critical nature of protecting victims from harm, thereby facilitating access to justice without financial barriers.
