Legal Question in Family Law in California

Reponse to dissolution not filed

I filed a petition for divorce, no response served on me yet (was told by ''ex'' that it was filed). It has been over 30 days since my petiton was filed. Can I go ahead and file a Default for Judgement? If the response does get filed, can I respond to the response? Is there a time limit from time of filing to serving the papers?

Once default is taken, the Court will not accept a response unless a motion to set aside the default is first made, heard and granted. If a response were filed, there is no need to respond to the response.

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