My husband filed for separate maintenance and now we have been separated for over a year. if my attorney serves him for final divorce hearing does his attorney have to reply back ? we reached an agreement in the temporary hearing and the 2nd hearing to finalize everything.

Re: divorce
He doesn't "have" to file anything in response, but he has to have the opportunity to do so. Generally, when there is an agreement to amend to ask for the divorce on one year separation, the other side will consent and waive notice.
Your attorney should be able to explain this process, and I urge you to contact him/her to discuss this further. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
