FAQ

The spouse who has been served with the divorce/dissolution petition is called the "respondent" or "defendant" in the divorce/dissolution process. He or she must respond to ("answer") the petition within a certain time (usually about three weeks).

Proof of Personal Service (Form FL-330): This form confirms that the response to divorce petition was filed with the court and served on the other spouse. Alternatively, the respondent can also serve them by mail, in which case they will need to complete and file the form for Proof of Service by Mail (FL-335).

You answer the divorce petition to let the court know your position in the divorce case.If you don't answer the divorce petition and you don't go to a hearing, it's still possible that the judge can grant the divorce. If that happens, the judge also can make other decisions in the divorce.

If you fail to respond to the petition by filing an Answer within the 30 day period, you will waive your right to receive any future notices regarding the final trial in the matter, including the time and place of the trial, the entry of judgment, and any notification of the court's decision.

Pull the header information from the plaintiff's petition. Title your Answer Answer to Plaintiff's Petition/Complaint. Center this title and make it bold. Introduce yourself. Admit, deny, or claim that you lack sufficient knowledge to admit or deny each of the plaintiff's numbered allegations.

Mail or physically take your written response to the clerk of courts in the county where your spouse filed the initial divorce petition. Check your state's and county's requirements, as you may need to file additional forms such as a financial disclosure form when you file your written response.

Once the divorce papers have been served in compliance with the notice and service requirements of the state, the person who is served is then tasked with filing an answer. An answer is essentially what it sounds like: a chance for the respondent to begin to explain their side of the story and ask for legal relief.

If you decide to respond, you will have to pay the current filing fee. If you decide not to respond, then after 30 days from the date you were served with the Petition, the other party can enter you into a default status (which means that you can no longer respond).

Your spouse is supposed to mail a copy to you. You can also check with the Family Court Central Intake Center after the 21 days are up to see whether your spouse has filed an Answer. You can check in person or you can call (202-879-1212). You can also go to the Family Court Self-Help Center and ask them to check.
