Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

30 day response

My friend was served with divorce papers on 10/20/04 and never hired an attorney he did not respond to the 30 day petition. I looked up on the Cook county web site and he has a progress hearing on 02/09/05 that he was never told about. Should he show up to this hearing since he never responsed to the petition ? He doesn't have the money to hire an attorney does he have any options?

Thanks

Hello. Your friend should show up in court. He

can contact the Legal Assistance foundation. Their fees might be affordable, but he should

definitely come to court.
