Once served with a Complaint for Divorce, you have 35 days to file an Answer, Counterclaim or Appearance.  Because your husband filed in Passaic County, that is the venue for the divorce proceedings.  You will need to file your Answer, Counterclaim or Appearance with the Court in Passaic County.  Review the Summons carefully.  The address of the Court where you need to file your responsive pleadings should be listed on the Summons. The attorneys at Weinberger Law Group offer a free one-hour initial consultation.  We are available to review the Complaint for Divorce with you, explain the divorce process and discuss your next steps.  We can also discuss with you options for requesting that your case be transferred to a different venue if Passaic County is not the appropriate venue.  Call today to schedule your consultation - (844) 260-4133.
