WAS asked for divorce today.

Starsky is correct. Protect yourself. Also, be prepared for some vile and maybe untrue statements thrown at you by her attorney. Try not to take it person as it is just a job to the attorney. Their job is to get the most for their client. So they will take the smallest imperfection on your part and make it out to be monumental.

Also, do not worry about filing deadlines and what not. My example. My W filed last May in our old state. She never served me. I filed in our new state after having lived here for 6 months. She waited till the day before her deadline to reply. Had she not replied, I would have literally had months of legal filings to try and get what I wanted absent her participation. And then even if I got it, she still would have I think 4 months to appeal and in all likelihood would have gotten it as judges do not like ruling regarding kids absent one parent's input. So it would have had to start all over. Again, do not get hung up on dates and deadlines in your D if it is filed. We had a court date a few weeks ago. Missed it. Heck her answers to her discovery questions are nearly 3 months late...and still waiting on them. Luckily for you, nothing moves quick on its own in the legal system and you are more than able to easily slow things down for months and months if you chose.
