since the anti paladins fiendish servant counts as summon monster can it be dispelled if so does that activate the 30 days of having no servant and the -1 on attacks and damage?

Reading through the rules on a quick pass, I think that you are correct that, as a spell-like ability, one can use Dispel magic on a Anti-Paladin's Fiendish Servant. However, Dispel Magic is not a banishment effect, and the creature was clearly not killed. As a result, the 30-day-or-next-level penalty cycle is not triggered.

I believe I would interpret the resummoning of the Fiendish Servant as a daily use of the Anti-Paladin's ability to magically call the servant to his side. That is an interpretation of the rules, though, not a use of the RAW.
