Legal Question in Family Law in California

Proof Of Service

Substitute Service:

Can you please tell me what the criteria is to Serve someone this way?

If the person being Served is avoiding this and therefore refusing to give their address, can they be served at a relatives address where they are known to spend time?

Also, if the person being served as substitute service refuses service and tries to run or leave, can you then put the documents down in front of them, and walk away?
