Dear brian28677:
Greetings. You must notify your spouse as soon as you set the date for the hearing with the Notice of Hearing. At a minimum, she will need ten (10) days notice.
You can just mail a copy of the Notice of Hearing. Yes, you need to have three copies of the Notice of Hearing - one for your records, one for the court, and one to mail to her. You have a certificate of service on the notice of hearing which you will have to sign that shows to the judge that you mailed her a copy. Good luck.
