HOW DO I GET A DIVORCE JUDGMENT WITHOUT MY HUSBAND'S CONSENT?

QUESTION: I filed my case in pro per in March, 2011. Apparently, my ex responded to the case in April, 2011. He never served me with his paperwork. I just had my judgement and default paperwork sent back to me because of his Response. Is there any way to get the judgement, because I was never served anything from him? Or should I just wait and go to my hearing which is scheduled for September of this year?


MY RESPONSE:

Don't be blindsided.

Go to the Court and purchase a copy of the papers that your husband filed, so that you can determine what he filed and what he is asking for.

Because your husband filed a Response, you can't get a default Judgment.

If you have a trial date set, you should prepare for and appear at the trial.

Consult with an experienced Family Law Attorney to determine whether it would be appropriate for you to be represented in the divorce case.
