There are no time restraints for serving a findings and order. You should always serve copies of orders to the other party so that they are on notice that the order was made. In light of the fact that the hearing went forward through default, it is probably more important that you make proper service of the order. That way if you need any enforcement remedies, you can show the court that the other party has notice of the orders of the court.
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.
