File Application and Order for Publication or Posting
In California divorce cases, an 'Application and Order for Publication or Posting' is used when one party in the divorce is unable to locate or serve legal documents to the other party through traditional means, such as personal service or certified mail. This application allows the petitioner to request permission from the court to serve divorce papers through alternative methods, such as publishing a notice in a newspaper or posting the documents in a public place, if the respondent's whereabouts are unknown or if they are actively avoiding being served.
This process is designed to ensure that due process is followed, providing the respondent with notice of the divorce proceedings, even if their location is uncertain or they are evading service, thus allowing the divorce to proceed legally.
