More info: Once the complaint has been filed with the court and returned to my H's attorney, it is recommended that he serve me as soon as possible. However, it seems as if there is a 4 month grace period - the court can dismiss the case if i am not served within 4 months of filing the complaint. And, i don't have to be served by the sheriff's office. If my H thinks that i will cooperate when served, it can be done via mail. So, i guess i have some time before i am served. I imagine that the courts received the complaint yesterday. It then must be filed (who knows how long that takes) and sent to my H's attorney. I guess i have at least this week. I just hope that my denying some of his charges doesn't turn this into some big nasty mess. But, he has to think that i wouldn't agree to what he wrote...what is wrong with him?
