If you have a L you can have him/her accept service on you behalf.

Also you will have a chance to respond once you have been served. Generally 30-60 days. This is you chance to propose a LS or anything else you want. Think of it as an offer-counter offer.

I refused to sign anything my W gave me. My L needs to explain it to me before I'm going to sign.
