Legal Question in Family Law in California

A lot of times, people will seve documents which do not have an endorsed filed stamped. That does not mean that the documents are not copies of the documentes which were filed in the court case. You would neeed to go down to the courthouse and review the records of the file to see what was actually filed in the case. You could bring it up to the judge if the other side is improperly serving you incomplete documents which often happens.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.

I agree with Mr. Chau. A summons and petition should have court stamps on them, and so should OSC's, but motions will not always be stamped, as the party serving is only supposed to give you a copy of what they are filing.

I'm curious as to what the "notice in lieu" - is in lieu of?
