DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW
What to Do if you've Been Served with Divorce Papers
If you have been served with a Complaint for
Divorce or other court papers, you must act immediately to protect
your rights. Depending on the kind of court papers that were served
on you, you have as few as 20 days to file a legal response.
If you
fail to file a response before the filing deadline, the Family Court
may enter a “default judgment” against you, granting your spouse
everything he or she asks for regarding child custody, child
support, spousal support, property division, etc. Call us
immediately if you have been served with court papers of any kind.
