California Order For Publication is a legal document issued by a court in California. It is served to parties involved in a lawsuit to inform them that the case is proceeding and that their presence is required in court. This document is commonly used in divorce, child custody, and paternity cases when one of the parties cannot be located. There are two types of California Order For Publication: Decree of Dissolution of Marriage and Notice of Action for Paternity. The Decree of Dissolution of Marriage is an Order For Publication issued by the court in a divorce case that notifies each party that the divorce is proceeding and that their presence is required in court. The Notice of Action for Paternity is issued by the court in a paternity case to inform both parties that the case is moving forward. This document requires the alleged father to appear in court to determine paternity.
