How long to respond to summons?

What is the name of your state? California
Both my husband and I are being sued by creditor and only I have been served with the summons so far. They tried to serve him the other day but I told the guy he wasn't living with me (which he's not). So will we have 30 days from the day he gets served to respond? Or 30 days from when I got served to respond?
Thanks

My response:

Since you were "substitute served" with the Summon and Complaint on behalf of your husband, he will have 40 days from the date that the Plaintiff mails another copy of the Summons and Complaint to your address.

You, on the other hand, have 30 days from the date you were served.
