If you’re involved in a California family law case and need to serve documents like a Request for Order or Income and Expense Declaration, you’ll likely need to complete an FL-330 Proof of Personal Service. Learn why Countrywide Process, LLC is the professional partner attorneys and legal staff trust to ensure compliance with the law.
The FL-330 (Proof of Personal Service) form is required in California family law cases when specific documents must be personally served to another party. This means a non-party individual (age 18 or older) hand-delivers documents directly to the respondent or opposing party. This form is then filed with the court to prove that service occurred lawfully.

Countrywide Process, LLC regularly handles the service of the following documents which must be proven using FL-330:
