QUESTION: I have served my husband with the divorce paper work and child support and my understanding is that he has 30 days to respond. My question is what happens if he doesn't respond, what would the next step be? What happens?
MY RESPONSE: A party is not allowed to serve documents in his/her own case. Assuming that the service was properly done by somebody else, over the age of 18, your next step, if your husband fails to respond within 30 days of service (and you should wait another week to ensure that he failed to do so, considering possible mail delays), your next step would be to seek to have the Court enter your husband's default. You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you in your divorce.
