Divorce Response
When you are served with Divorce papers, you may need to file a Response within 30 days to protect your legal rights.
This package includes:
- Confidential consultations with our experienced Divorce Lawyer to answer your legal questions and offer legal advice
- A review of your Divorce documents with advice as to your best steps
- Accurate preparation of your California Divorce Response in a timely manner
- The filing of the Response documents in the appropriate court; NOTE: The filing fee is additional and is approximately $470 in most counties which includes e-filing fees. The filing fee may be waived by the court based on income
- The preparation of the service documents
- The service of said documents by mail to the spouse or attorney or assistance in service
- The filing of the proof of service to the court
- The completion and service by mail of disclosure statements to spouse or attorney and the filing of proof of service of disclosures to court
Once you respond, you are now ‘in the case’ and can secure a trial date if your spouse fails to do so. You may require a Trial Brief and other documents for the trial. Your Attorney will advise.
If, after responding, your spouse wishes to agree on the disputed issues, a Stipulation can be prepared which would, in most cases, avoid a court appearance. Your Attorney will advise.
