What do I do when my spouse files for Divorce?
You should consult a lawyer promptly for advice. You may
lose rights if you do not act to protect them. You may contest the reason
claimed for the divorce, or you may contest (or need to counter-sue for) child
custody, support, alimony, and/or property division by filing the proper papers
and appearing in court.
The case will be decided without your appearance if you do
not contest any portion of the complaint and if you do not wish to say anything
to the judge. However, you will be bound by the decision of the judge, whether
or not you appear in court. Failure to follow court orders could result in a
citation for contempt of court.
