You can't move your case forward until you serve the other parent. Once they are served, they have 30 days to respond. After that, your case can move forward even if they don't respond. Service is complete the day the other parent signs the Notice, not the day your server mailed it.
Service by Notice and Acknowledgement of Receipt (Code Civ. Proc. § 415.30) is the recommended method of serving a summons on a known-to-be represented party or an unrepresented party who you believe to be amenable to such service.
