I do not know what "papers" your husband has, but unless he's been served with a petition, the proceedings have not really started. You need to have a process server or sheriff bring him the papers. Perhaps court intake can assist. If he has filed and not served you, typically you can look up the case on line and then answer without being served. You can also ask the court to go to mediation to hopefully come to an amicable resolution of your case. It is a bit too complicated to explain each aspect of moving the case forward once you are served or voluntarily answer the petition, but again you may get assistance fro legal aid or the clerk of the court.
