Find an attorney to help you. Make sure you do your response to protect your rights. Do not let the court default you and enroll a judgment the other side prepares.

The service of court documents is usually indicative of the requirement for you to file a response in order to protect your rights. If there is a court hearing, you can always represent your self, or request that the hearing be continued in order to obtain an attorney. Just remember that if you need to go through a divorce, you do not need to go through it alone. In order to properly protect your rights, you should seek the assistance of an attorney since there are a lot of different issues that can arise in a divorce proceeding.
