Legal Question in Family Law in California
Responding to a divorce
my husband and I are having a friendly divorce. I do not contest anything he filed in the petition. Neither is asking child support or spousal support. We have no community property or debt. and child cusotdy is listed on petition as joint legal and physical. Do i have to file a response or can i just let him file a default judgement after 30 days?

In a general sense, the only way to protect yourself is to file a response, and then work with your spouse on a Stipulated Judgment. If you let this go to default, you have no say so in the specific details fo the final outcome.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Letting go to a default is probably not a good idea. I would agree that you really should consult with a family law attorney before moving forward.
