Do I still have to wait the full 35 days to request my hearing and since his answer is on file, can I go ahead and request the hearing?

In that case, just file a stipulated order. The court will sign it when the court signs it, but a hearing should not be necessary.

You are wise not to sign any "waiver" without understanding what effects it would have. As to what you should do: bite the bullet and go pay a good (not just any) divorce lawyer for an hour or so of consultation to learn about the divorce process, your legal rights, and how best to protect them. I know nobody wants to spend money on an attorney, but in a situation like yours, it's some of the best money you will ever spend.

If the house was paid for with money earned during marriage, it is a marital asset. If you owned it before marriage, you are entitled to the equity you had in it before marriage and then you and your husband divide the marital equity.
