You have 35 days to answer a New Jersey complaint for divorce PERSONALLY served upon you, no matter where you were when service was effected.

Call me if you like.

Re: Take action within 35 days of papers recieved.

You have to file an answer and fight this. You need a lawyer, and you need a lawyer now. Bad things will happen to you if you do not, worse than if you take action to deal with it.

Do not delay.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free. I would be happy to help you out.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.

Hi,

I am not sure how you were served, but you have to respond to this within 35 days of receiving the complaint. If you do not respond, your wife will have default entered against you, meaning she can proceed without you defending the case. She would then get it scheduled for an Equitable Distribution hearing, and perhaps get other interium relief.

Our office has helped many family law clients who do not reside in New Jersey. We would be happy to assist you with this matter.

Please call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment over the telephone. My contact information can be obtained from the links below.

Re: Take action within 35 days of papers recieved.

As the other attorneys have said, you have 35 days to respond and I suggest you do so ASAP. Since you are not in NJ, you cannot rush right into my office so I suggest you give me a call at 732/247/3340. My initial consultations are always free and we will discuss the issues in the case and what you would like to get and then you can decide the best course of action for the case.

Good luck!
