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

Robert Joseph Merlin
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.

How long will it take me to get an Ex parte divorce ?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I'm not sure what you mean by ex parte divorce.  Ex parte usually refers to a conversation betwen one litigant and the judge.  You might mean a defualt judgment or something else.  If you can get the other party to consent to waive the time necessary to wait for default, you can greatly speed up the procees.

If a marriage is over and there are chilren involved, if the father moves out, will he lose parental rights to his children/

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Moving out of the house is not going to be cause for denying someone parental rights.  The father will still have to be financially responsible for the children and will be eligible for visitation.
