QUESTION: What should I do after being served divorce papers? I have just been served papers and I need to know how to proceed from here.
MY ANSWER: You must file and serve a formal Response [Form FL-120]within 30 days after you were served. If there are issues of any significance (i.e., child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, property division, allocation of debts, or attorney's fees) addressed in your spouse's Petition, or which should be addressed in the case, or if you don't know how to handle your own side of the case, you should at least consult, if not retain, an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you in the divorce case.
