You can file a Request for Order to compel compliance and finalization of the settlement. If she is refusing without good cause, the court can assess sanctions against her in the form if some attorney fee order in your husband's favor. You will probably need some help on this from a paralegal or a lawyer.

Why am I not receiving anything from the courts if I am not represented?

It sounds like you should speak with an attorney in CA for legal advice.  When a divorce is filed here, you need to be served. If you returned the proof of service you then had 30 days in which to respond. You have a divorce with issues, namely child support, custody & visitation. You may have other issues. If you did not 'respond' within the 30 day period, then the divorce will end in default which may not be in your best interest. If you and your spouse are in agreement, you would have to sign and notarize a Marital Settlement Agreement or Stipulation which would state the child support amount and specify visitation and custody. In the service packet, you should have had an 'income & expense' and 'assets & debt' blank disclosure forms that needed to be filled out by you. In addition, these disclosure forms, filled out by your spouse, should have been in the service packet as well.

Excellent question. The mechanical method you describe might have its intended effect. But I recommend talking with an attorney to help figure out the consequence of such a maneuver. The unintended consequences could be significant.
