Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I'm currently a husband I expect to be served with a divorce subpoena very soon. What will a divorce subpoena say and what will I be expected to do? Will the subpoena come with a proposed settlement attached? Most importantly am I a fool if I don't hire a lawyer?
