How long do I have to respond to served divorce papers in California? 12 Answers as of January 17, 2011

30 days from the date you were served. The documents that must be filed with the Court (along with the requisite Response filing fee) and served on the other party's attorney or the other party if he/she has no attorney (be aware that a party cannot serve papers in his/her own case, so somebody other than you, at least 18 years old, would need to serve the papers) would be a FL-120 Response, and if there are any minor children, a FL-105 Declaration under UCCJEA,and a Proof of Service. The service can be done via mail.

You have 30 days, unless you reach an agreement with the Petitioner, or his/her counsel. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

You have 30 days. You'll find that information on the Summons, which should have been served with the Petition for Dissolution. You'll also want to read page 2 of the Summons. Once served, you are subject to the Standard Family Law Restraining Orders.

You have 30 days from when you were served to file and serve your response.

Your response time depends on what you were served with, and how you were served. With this information, I can specifically answer your questions. A telephone call would be best so I can aster ALL of your specific questions in one communication.
