What is due date for response to order to show cause: re proof of service? Hearing was scheduled.
A:
Under California law, the due date for a response to an order to show cause regarding proof of service depends on when and how the order was served. Generally:
1. If the order was served personally, the response is due at least 5 calendar days before the hearing date, including weekends and holidays.
2. If the order was served by mail within California, the response is due at least 5 calendar days plus 5 additional calendar days for mailing before the hearing date.
3. If the order was served by mail outside of California but within the United States, the response is due at least 5 calendar days plus 10 additional calendar days for mailing before the hearing date.
4. If the order was served by mail outside the United States, the response is due at least 5 calendar days plus 20 additional calendar days for mailing before the hearing date.
However, it's always best to check the specific order or consult with a legal professional to confirm the exact due date, as there may be variations depending on the court and the specific case. It's crucial to respond within the given timeframe to avoid potential legal consequences.
