Kim Richards has finally been served with a lawsuit.

According to RadarOnline, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was served with court papers on March 2 and she is required to respond by March 23, 2015 at the latest. The lawsuit is regarding Richards’ pit bull, Kingsley, who has been responsible for more than one attack. The individual in this lawsuit is Richards' former friend, Kay Rozario

“Kay is extremely happy because it means that we are one step closer to justice being served,” Rozario’s lawyer claimed.

Getting the court documents to the housewife, though, was not an easy task. Radar confirms that Richards continuously dodged the process server. However, the papers were able to be served when one of Richard’s children answered the door at her Beverly Hills home.

“Prior to that, Kim hid in her house trying to avoid the server and she would turn off all the lights when the server would ring the bell to deliver her with the court papers,” the source told Radar.

Kingsley’s attack on Rozario wasn’t the only one unfortunately. He was also responsible for turning on Richards neice, Alexia, daughter of the other Richards sister on RHOBH, Kyle. Though the dog was sent off for some time, he is now back home with the reality star.

The source also added, “the worst part about all of this is that she never, ever apologized to Kay. Kim knows that she may have to pay for Kay’s pain and suffering as a result of this vicious attack.”

Here’s to hoping Richards and her former friend find a peaceful resolution.
