How Do I Serve if I’m Indigent and on Food Stamps?
Asked on Jan 12th, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
I've been deemed indigent by the court so didn't pay filing fees. I'm also on Food Stamps. My estranged husband is in the UK, we've been separated for 14 months, and I need to serve him but don’t have money to pay a server. How can I do this with the courts help? Thank you

If he will accept service by mail, you can mail the documents to him with a Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt (form FL-117) which he would sign and return. If he agrees to do so, then you don't need to have him professionally served. Another option is to have someone you know in the UK serve him with the documents. They don't have to be served by a professional. Once you get him served, you can seek orders for support and attorney's fees to assist with the rest of your case.

There is no help. You have to arrange this yourself with a process server who works internationally.
