Legal Question in Family Law in California
Father's Rights Visitation Paternity Established
Writing on behalf of my husband. He pays child support, paternity has been established but he is unaware if a visitation order was established. He filed for visitation rights in Nevada, his son lived there with the mother for many years, it was recently disclosed to by the Child Support Enforcement agency in Nye county Nevada she has moved back to California. We do not have a current address or phone number to locate her to serve her with the summons. Why can't the Santa Ana court serve her since the court knows where she is at? And know there is no restraining orders or child abuse involved.

The burden of service of process is on you and the Court will not do this for you. I suggest that you consider hiring a private investigator to locate them so that they can be properly served.
I also suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

If they have one, contact the child abduction unit or child locator unit for Orange County. They can help you with the court order for the to locate and serve the mother with the custody and visitation papers. If they do not have one, they may be able to direct you to an agency that can assist you. Alternatively, you might attempt to find her through an internet P.I. firm. If all else fails, consult an attorney who can assist you in finding the mother, but that could be very expensive. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
