What Happens if You Fail to File a Response to Divorce Papers?

Posted By Claery & Green, LLP || 4-Nov-2013

If you are served divorce papers and fail to file a response the time that it allotted to you, this will not dismiss your divorce case. Instead, it will probably move the case forward and the court will assume that you agreed with the conditions of the settlement and approve of the decisions made therein.

As the spouse served with divorce papers, it is essential that you read the entire papers carefully. There may be decisions about child custody, property division, and more which you do not agree with listed in the papers.

When served with divorce papers, the best option is to hire a lawyer right away. With the right attorney on your side, you will be able to inspect the divorce agreement very carefully and highlight any issues that you wish to battle in court. If you are not able to determine any issues that you want to challenge, then you can feel free to let the divorce default, as this is normally a faster way to do things.
