Worse before Better?

[Sophie]

thanks for talking to me....I'm scared and nervous but I didn't do anything wrong and this comes at a time where H has hit rock bottom financially.

The papers don't give any reason...just that we have lived seperate for over a year. (H spends a lot of time here...I guess that doesn't count)

The paper is so vague that it forces me to get a lawyer. It asks for 'responsibility for the care and custody of the minor children and that I pay support for the care of the minor children.

I've been doing that since he left!

The part that scares me is the cover page that says
...that unless within 21 days after serving...a response is made by filing in the clerk's office of the court a pleading in writing, in proper legal form, the allegations and charges may be taken as admitted and the court may enter an order, judgement, or decree against me either by default or after hearing evidence.

I am okay to 'sit on this' but if I don't counter file, then I can't even tell what he would get from me...other than more money. It doesn't spell out anything. There isn't any money break down for me to agree to.

I am waiting for a name of a lawyer I had intended to call if this happened...I misplaced the name.

Is there a number I can call for free advice under distress???
