Legal Question in Family Law in California
when does he have to have his answer filed by
i have filed a disolution with children involved. at first my new boyfriend served my son to be legal ex the docs, he claimed that he would not acknowledge the service! so i had my father serve him again over the holidays, he claimed he already had the docs! on 12-26 i went to the clerk to file both proofs, the clerk filed the origional service... there is a mediation date set for 12-30, i am curious what can he do to disaprove service? and can he file his answer the date and time of the mediation date? i do not know much about family law... i deal in civil lit for collections, this is all new to me, and not what i am used to, could i be in over my head in pro per?

Re: when does he have to have his answer filed by
It is always best to have an attorney representing you, who is experienced and knowledgeable in the procedural and substantive law in front of the Court. However, in pro per is a valid option, especially for those who are confident, willing to study what all needs to be done, and want to keep legal fees very affordable throughout the proceedings.
