Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My kids are with W today so I am spending the day with my mom. It's a really hard day.

I have a question that’s come up on this forum quite a bit. I am expecting to receive the divorce papers any day now. I don’t have much money so I doubt I will be getting a lawyer. She's printing the papers on her own so I don't think she's received much council. We don’t have many assets and everything she’s initially outlined seems fair. Do most papers usually have a “respond by date?”

Is it a good idea for me to stall as long as possible?
