Is this a common practice of officers of the court?

Hello,
I live in Mesa, AZ. I was just recently served a summons to respond to an attorney collecting a debt for Capital One. Now, I have been served before (DUI, divorce) and each time the paperwork is given to me after I identify myself.

However this particular "officer of the court" asked me a few additional questions.
First he had me signed a clipboard that I had been served. Never had to do that. Then he asked:
Are you married?
"yes, but wont be for long. I am in process of divorce"
And what is your wife's name? (as he was about to write it down)
"Her name is K-----. Do you work for the court or the plantiff? Why do you need to know my wife's name?"
I am an officer of the Highland Justice Court. This is just routine questions we are to ask.

Does this sound right? The paperwork is legit and I looked my case up online. But it almost sounds like the plantiffs were serving me themselves

Note: Plantiffs do not have my wife's name on file. It was a business credit card I defaulted on, but since it was a self-proprietor business under my own SSN, and not an LLC, I am responsible for it as an individual

Although the question could be out of regular 'official' inquiry.But I won't doubt about their intentions,it could be just a general talk,nothing objectionable.

I forgot one detail. Even though I looked at my case online, it has now been two weeks and I don't see that it shows I was ever served. The Maricopa County Superior Court Records database is often really good on updating the timeline on each case. That is another reason why I think that the plantiffs might have served me directly
