Start making calls. You only have 20 days to respond to a summons if it's properly served (and sending it to you by mail is not proper service.)

You have 20 days to respond to the Summons or you risk allowing your husband the chance to get a default divorce judgment against you. Contact your husband's lawyer and ask for more time, or hire your own attorney to notice an appearance immediately. Good luck!
