Section 6384 Of Chapter 3. Registration And Enforcement Of Orders From California Family Law Code >> Division 10. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 3.
6384
. (a) If a respondent named in an order issued under this part
after a hearing has not been served personally with the order but has
received actual notice of the existence and substance of the order
through personal appearance in court to hear the terms of the order
from the court, no additional proof of service is required for
enforcement of the order.
If a respondent named in a temporary restraining order or
emergency protective order is personally served with the order and
notice of hearing with respect to a restraining order or protective
order based on the temporary restraining order or emergency
protective order, but the respondent does not appear at the hearing
either in person or by counsel, and the terms and conditions of the
restraining order or protective order issued at the hearing are
identical to the temporary restraining or emergency protective order,
except for the duration of the order, the restraining order or
protective order issued at the hearing may be served on the
respondent by first-class mail sent to the respondent at the most
current address for the respondent that is available to the court.
(b) The Judicial Council forms for orders issued under this part
shall contain a statement in substantially the following form:
"If you have been personally served with a temporary restraining
order and notice of hearing, but you do not appear at the hearing
either in person or by a lawyer, and a restraining order that is the
same as this temporary restraining order except for the expiration
date is issued at the hearing, a copy of the order will be served on
you by mail at the following address: ____.
If that address is not correct or you wish to verify that the
temporary restraining order was converted to a restraining order at
the hearing without substantive change and to find out the duration
of that order, contact the clerk of the court."
