General Issues / Been served, Now what?
Jan 02, 2008, 12:36:26 PM
I've been served the papers for our divorce.  My husband and I agreed we needed this, and that I couldn't afford to file for the divorce, so he did it.  Once I got the papers I read that he is filling for sole custody.

My main question is what happens, step by step?  He has a lawyer - (I wasn't working - stayed home to take care of autistic child, and now he has cleared bank account and gets his work checks deliverd to him - so i'm without any money for a lawyer).  SO I've been served, but I don't know how to respond.  I called the courthouse and they told me that i needed to go to the library and find out what to do.  What?!?!  They were no help.  I've seen lawyers who know just what to do, but they won't tell me how to do it on my own.  Anyone know how to contest something like this?   Or where i can get help/started???

Father's Issues / I messed up! Need advice
Jan 02, 2008, 12:57:39 PM
So I fell for my spouse's lies that we could work things out and that they would get the divorce papers dropped.  Well now it's day 29 of my 30 days to contest and it's too late for me to do anything.   I can not afford a lawyer, and she has one already.  

So does this mean that everything that was said in the papers will happen.  She'll get sole custody, that I admit to being an unfit parent?
