QUESTION: What are the steps I need to take after my spouse has been served with divorce papers?
MY RESPONSE: If you can afford it, the best step would be to retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you. If not, you can go to your Superior Court's self-help center to seek the assistance of volunteers there. Your wife has 30 days to respond to the documents served on her. If she fails to timely file and serve her Response, you will need to seek to have the Court enter her default. You also will need to prepare your Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure and have it served on your wife, in any event. There are many other things that need to be done in a divorce, but they are too voluminous to put into a response to this question.
