A: Under California law, if a judge's order specifically includes a clause requiring notification of the parties about the order, then you must comply with that requirement, even if the court has already mailed the order to all parties of record. The court's action does not absolve the parties from their obligations under the order. This ensures that all parties are fully aware of the court's decisions and any actions they must take in response.

It's important to follow the judge's instructions carefully to ensure compliance with the order. If the order mandates notification by mail, then you should proceed accordingly, using the appropriate form of mailing as specified by California court rules or the order itself. This step is crucial to maintain the integrity of the legal process and to ensure that all involved parties have received the necessary information directly, as stipulated by the court.

Finally, it's advisable to keep a record of the notifications sent, including copies of the letters and any proof of mailing or delivery. This documentation can serve as evidence of compliance with the court's order, should there be any disputes or questions about whether all parties were properly notified. Ensuring clear communication and following through on such details can help avoid complications or misunderstandings later in the legal process.
