Service of the supplemental summons and complaint shall be made in the manner provided by California divorce laws generally, for the initial service of a summons by this code. 2330.3.

(b) The Judicial Council shall adopt a standard of judicial administration prescribing a minimum length of assignment of a judicial officer to a family law assignment.
