Can I file any paperwork with the court before the 30 days?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
You really cannot do anything until the other side responds or the 30 days has elapsed because whatever you file the the court has to be served on the other side and you don't know where that person is. Once the 30 days goes by and no response is filed you can request a default and move forward from there without serving any further documents on the other side.

What forms do I complete for a dissolution of marriage?

Stephen Marc Drucker
Answered by attorney Stephen Marc Drucker (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Legal Action Workshop Professional Corporation
The answer to these questions depend on your particular circumstance.  How long were you married (from the date of marriage to the date of separation)?  Do you have children and/or property?  Is your spouse able to be served and will the spouse be cooperative? The first step in any divorce is to get legal advice so you understand your legal rights and options.  There are some attorneys, like our law firm, that offer a flat fee for divorce. In essence, you can pay an affordable fee for divorce--but it does depend on your circumstance.  Paperwork is one part of a divorce & it's important that it be accurate.  The other part of the divorce is the process which must be correct in order to assure that the divorce will be finalized.

If my husband filed for a divorce but has not served me it’s been over 6 months, what can I do to make it happen?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gerard A. Fierro (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gerard A. Fierro & Associates
You can file your own divorce case and serve him with it. Then if he does not respond within 30 days of service you can request that a default be entered. Your other choice is to just voluntarily file a response to his Petition without being served and then proceed with the existing case. You can then do your disclosure forms and request a trial setting.
