I dont know about Venezuela, but in my state, you get served, or as I did it, I gave my W the papers (petition) and she had 10 days to sign receipt (acceptance), otherwise, I would have her served by an officer of the law at her work. Then after you have the accepted the papers, you have 30 days to file a response otherwise what was asked for in the petition is defaulted by the court. My L told me that the court hardly every does the default if 30 days expire.
