What does 'service by publication' mean in my divorce case?

It means the court approved giving notice by printing the documents in a newspaper because other service methods failed; publication acts as official notice.

When will the notice run in the newspaper?

The notice is scheduled to run once weekly on Apr 23, Apr 30, May 7, and May 14, 2026, in the Sacramento Bee.

What happens if the respondent never responds after publication?

The court can enter default orders in the divorce case, allowing the petitioner to obtain relief without the respondent's input.
