Oops..sorry I should clarify here..this isn't about me..my papers were finally set down last friday (woohoo..lol)
this is about my common law husband..he and his ex have been going along without any support orders or custody agreements up til now..and it has more or less been amicable. The last couple of times she's withheld access and been an all around jerk about things so he wants to finalize everything, get the appropriate orders and get divorced.
So far she seems agreeable, but when he suggested she get a lawyer ( through legal aid) she said she didn't want the hassel. So I'm wondering if she's agreeable, and he serves her with the papers does it basically go through uncontested? Or will there be problems as far as the courts are concerned...
If you serve someone and they don't bother to retain counsel..what happens?
