Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Divorce question

If you don't respond, the court will default you and proceed without you. This process may reduce your entitlement to family assets.

Consult with a family law attorney (most will give you an initial consultation for free), and get everything you are entitled to in your divorce settlement (including alimony and child support)!

REMEMBER, California is a "community property" state. In basic terms, this means that your are entitled to 50% of most of your family assets.

After you've receive your divorce settlement, get with a good financial advisor to plan your future and manage your assets. Your financial situation may change significantly. If you need financial planning, I'm an advisor at a wealth management firm in Beverly Hills, as well as an licensed attorney. I help divorcees manage and build wealth.

If you do not respond, they will take your default, proceed without you, and he will get what he wants. I do not suggest that you ignore this as there is no benefit to you in doing so. Ignoring the issue will not make it go away, it will complicate it and potentially reduce your entitlement.

I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Your husband will get what he wants. The will default you and proceed without you. Since you would not be there to answer, what might be said would be on the record, public record, and no responsive argument. Do not ignore it, it will not go away.
