Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Moving out of my parents' house. How can I avoid being served?

I might get served but I'm moving out of my parents' house. The people still think I live there. How can I make sure the subpoena doesn't get sent to my parents with it being legal? (I'm in Santa Clara County, CA) i don't get along with them and don't want them to know my situation. I don't even know if they'll give me the subpoena. My parents have no way of contacting me anyway. I've changed my address at the DMV. Do they have to give me the subpoena in person or can they mail it to my parents' house? How can I make sure they can't without finding them first? I don't feel I need to go out of my way to find them.

Why not call the plaintiffs' lawyer and give them your appropriate address, or accept service with a Notice and Acknowledgment by mail(no one has to come to the door)? Most defendants aren't that willing, though, to participate in a lawsuit.
