California Divorce - Posting / Publication
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.
