Re: How long to respond to divorce papers?
Depends on the grounds claimed for the divorce. If the only grounds claimed are either consent and/or 2 years separation then there is nothing answer. If there was a fault ground such indignities then a response maybe required. There maybe other counts like equitable distribution and custody.
Without knowing what claims have been made it would be hard to say what is required as a response.
I would recommend you see a lawyer as soon as possible.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
