For each remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:

satisfied; and
(3) A general appearance was made or filed by or for
respondent; or process was served on respondent in the manner required by Section 112A-10; or the petitioner is diligently attempting to complete the required service of process.
An interim order may not include the counseling, payment of support or monetary compensation remedies, unless the respondent has filed a general appearance or has been personally served.
