I have not received papers yet but it's still early in the evening. I am not leaving the house unless it becomes absolutely unbearable. In Tn. the papers are filed, then served, when served you have 30 days to file a response. My first divorce took 6 months. I have known some to be over in 30 days. I have a buddy that has been waiting 2 years, but his STBX in in Cabo , Mexico..
