Service of Divorce Summons

Answer: Yes.  By way of general information only, the summons is a paper warning that one spouse has filed for divorce.  There are deadlines that arise once the summons is served.  The summons contains automatic orders such as that neither spouse can sell or give away any property, change any insurance, or take any children of the marriage outside the state of California without the written consent of the other spouse or order of court.  The specifics should be addressed with an attorney.
