The petitioner has no deadline to serve papers on the respondent, but you are not required to respond until you receive service of the divorce papers.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
