2.         PETITION OF SYDNEY DOLCINI

            24CV00679

Tentative Ruling: Matter is continued to 05/29/24 at 3:00 pm in Department 19 for Petitioner to file Proof of Service to the other parent or file a Declaration of Diligent search. Here, the petition is brought only by one parent. CCP section 1277(a)(4) requires that where “the other parent, if living, does not join in consenting thereto, the petitioner shall cause, not less than 30 days before the hearing, to be served notice of the time and place of the hearing or a copy of the order to show cause on the other parent pursuant to Section 413.10 , 414.10 , 415.10 , or 415.40.”  These sections address service of a summons which must generally be personally served. If the petitioner has grounds for believing such service cannot reasonably be accomplished and another method will result in actual notice, a supplemental declaration with those facts should be filed at least 5 court days before the hearing.
