Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Divorce

I filed for divorce in Jan in Feb

My husband got a lawyer I had not heard

anything from the lawyer in response to the

petition so I sent them a letter this month

saying they had till the 1st of Sept to

respond to my divorce or I will file a motion

of default I received respose to petition and now i dont know what to do.

Everything was admitted except two things

they are one that says partially denied as

there is questions to the paternity of two of

the children, and that children were born

after seperation in my divorce papers

the case # is on there stating who the

father of my twins are from the paternity

tests that were done The second thing

that is denied it says *denied only as to

liabilities while the parties were married.

Respondent lacks information on the debts

incurred during that time period. Then below

under request for relief the ones that are

checked are as follows

1. enter a decree

2. approve my parenting plan for the

dependent children

3. determine support for the children

4. dispose of property and liabilites

My question is, does this mean he has his own

parenting plan? And will my divorce finally

be able to move forward or do I have to do

more?

Re: Divorce

Your fact description generates more questions than answers. You can go forward at any time with the divorce, but your description is of a procedural mess. The problem that I would anticipate is there have been cutoffs missed and time is running out (I am assuming you have a trial date set).
