Re: can i be in default /not served/how to contact court
If your spouse filed for the absolute divorce in the same action, he/she need only serve you by regular mail to move forward with the case at your last known address. If there are financial or other property issues involved in the recent filing, you need to get legal representation to protect your interests.
