a "certificate of service" is a paper that says the "respondent's" (person you filed a petition against)"supplemental" (i.e., additional) "interrogatories" (written questions) and "motion" (written request) "to produce" (give or supply copies) "directed to petitioner" (sent to you) that is, it's a paper that says the person you filed a petition against has sent to you [on a certain date] additional written questions and a request to supply copies. It has nothing to do with debts made behind your back or with your full knowledge. A copy of every paper filed in court has to be sent to you with a "certificate" or "proof" of service showing when it was sent (that proof or certificate is also filed in court). You really should hire an experienced lawyer to help you if you have little or no income, you can ask the court to order your spouse to pay for your lawyer.

This has to do with responding to discovery requests and if you don't do so you will be ordered to pay attorney fees. Nothing to do with a debt. Deadlines to follow.

It means that the supplemental interrogatories was served on Petitioner, there was no response and the motion is to force the Petitioner to answer the interrogatories.

It means you have a court date and you need to appear and explain why you didn't answer some request for discovery which was sent to you. You need to seek help from an attorney or paralegal. If you don't things will only get worse, not better.

It means that someone is saying that he/she delivered certain documents to someone. It is typically a caption phrase appearing before a more complete statement of exactly what was delivered, how it was delivered, when it was delivered, to whom it was delivered. It is not, by itself, and "legal term" with any special meaning independent of any particular document that is used in. It may or may not have anything to do with a debt; that depends on whether the interrogatories (i.e. questions) and the motion to produce (i.e. deliver something) are asking for documents and answers related to a debt. You need to read the documents carefully to understand what is going on.

It means that a bunch of questions have been served upon you and you have to answer them under oath, and that a notice to produce has been served on you and you have to provide what has been requested.

That has to do with discovery and the Respondent is asking for some information that is relevant in the divorce proceeding. The Petitioner must produce the documents and answer the questions as directed.

These are terms dealing with the process of a divorce They deal with discovery and procedure. A lawyer will know how to deal with these issues. You also need to understand what will happen if you do not comply with the request or process
