For an ncontested divorce, what happens if I do not file a pettition response?

Answered by attorney Robert Joseph Merlin (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Robert J. Merlin, P.A.
You are at risk of your wife asking for something else, which she could get. Everything is on the table if the judge does not ratify your agreement. Assuming that your wife asked the judge to ratify the agreement in her petition, just send the court, with a copy to her attorney, a paper admitting everything. If she did not ask the judge to ratify the agreement, you need to file an answer asking the judge to do that. Make sure that your agreement is in writing.

You father deeded his interest in the house to your husband.  Therefore your husband owns what your father owned and does have rights to the house.

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)

Your wife should present your written agreement to the court. If you do not have a written agreement, then you are at risk. She could go in and ask for more than you agreed upon. Since this would be a default hearing you would not have a right to be heard. You would have to make a request to set aside the judgment due to excusable neglect. Whether that would happen I cannot predict. The best course would be to file an answer.
