Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Look for a form "Response" to whatever he filed against you. Complaint in Paternity? Petition to Establsih? I would need to know more. (But its NOT going to be called a Response to Application for Default).

You should be able to find the correct response form at the Maricopa County self service center: http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/SuperiorCourt/Self-ServiceCenter/.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! You need to respond within ten days after her filed the Application for Default.

ALSO, YOU NEED TO OBJECT TO ARIZONA'S JURISDICTION if you believe it should be a California case. In some instances, if you fail to object in your first pleading, you "waive" your objection.

Please CALL US soon. We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Paige or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
