This matter is on calendar for hearing on a Petition to Fix Residence Outside the State of California. Proof of service has been filed for the mother and counsel for the minor. There is no proof of service of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for the father and insufficient information has been provided to permit the Court to dispense with notice. The father may be served by mail. The matter is continued to Monday, August 31, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for further proceedings on the Petition to Fix Residence Outside the State of California.
Petitioners are required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the Petition, on the father. In the alternative, if Petitioners cannot serve the father, the Court will require a declaration explaining in detail all efforts of Petitioners to locate and serve him and why he cannot be served, to permit the Court to dispense with notice. Notice is preserved. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
