Fort Meade, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

In California, if you are certain that you have all the necessary paperwork, you can just submit the forms or you can file a form called Request for Trial Setting.

You should not file a simplified dissolution and file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage without Children. He can then sign a waiver of service, sign all of the required documents and you could appear alone at the final hearing. Not a problem, it can be done easily, but not quite as easy as a simplified dissolution. I hope this helps. Good luck!

It is unclear as to whom you are speaking. If you are asking how long does it take to get the summons and complaint back from the court upon filing them, the answer is that you should receive them back immediately upon filing, if done in person. If filed by mail, then within the reasonable time for mail. If your are referring to getting "papers" back following service, you do not receive the summons and complaint back from the defendant. What you serve the defendant with is her/his copy of the summons, complaint and any other documents filed or entered with the court. The defendant has the right to file an answer and counter complaint and that typically must occur within 21 days of being served with the original complaint. If you are not referring to either of these two scenarios, then you must clarify what "papers" you are referencing and who was served.
