After you file your Request and get a court date, you must let the other side (your spouse, domestic partner, or the other parent) know that there is a hearing. One way to do this is by mail, called mail service.
Typically prepared by the process server, an affidavit of service form is often an official court form that can be obtained from the court clerk or various online sources. The document usually includes the following information: The name of the person served. The date, time, and place the person was served.
Home What is a Proof of Service in California Family Court? Proof of service is a document that confirms you have officially delivered legal papers, such as complaints or motions, to the other party involved in a civil case, excluding the initial summons.
The FL-165 Request to Enter Default form is used in California family law cases when one party seeks a court order to establish a parental relationship, and the other party has failed to respond to the initial petition within the legal timeframe.
