What are the consequences for no response after 30 days when divorce papers are served?

Generally, the failure to respond to a summons and complaint in a divorce matter results in an order of default and judgment against the person that fails to appear and respond. However, most divorce courts will permit an appearance and answer to be filed after the initial 30 days expires.

If after the spouse has been served and 30 days has lapse, we can file a petition for default. Once that is granted we can get you divorce within 2 weeks.
