6-14/120.20 Service on Judgment Debtor



  

In addition to service of the order for appearance of the debtor of the judgment, the judgment debtor must also be served either personally or by mail at least 10 days prior to the hearing date. If service is by mail, the time is extended by 5, 10 or 20 days if mailed to a California address, another United States address or a foreign country address, respectively. Consequently, the order must be deposited in the mail at least 15 days prior to the hearing date if the judgment debtor’s address is in the State of California. Service on the debtor is a separate service requiring a separate service fee. There is no requirement that the same person make both services. (CCP 708.120, 684.120)
