Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Not Replying To Divorce Complaint

If you do not file a response with the court, your husband will request a default judgment from the court requesting an order based upon the demands in the Petition. If the Petition asks the court to terminate its jurisdiction to award support than the court could terminate your rights to support. I would strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney in your area as soon as possible before the Response is due.
