I filed for sole custody last month, and my ex was served 3 weeks ago. As far as I'm aware, she has yet to respond. I'm a little confused- what happens if she doesn't respond? What do I do? I know custody cases generally drag on for quite awhile, but because of my daughter's disabilities her recovery can be severely impaired if she doesn't start getting the care she needs soon. Is there anything that can be done to speed the process up? I live in FL. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Often if there is no response you'll prevail by default. In most cases there is no way to speed the process up.
