What is the name of your state? Currently Illinois, Originally California.
My soon-to-be-ex-wife and I agreed to divorce fairly amicably last September. We had agreed to seek a paralegal service and handle all the details between ourselves so as to avoid costly attorney fees, etc. Lo and behold, she hired an attorney and had me served with papers on October 21, 2002. For various reasons, including a job move to Illinois from California, I did not get my response filed in time and received a notice of default on 11/25/02.
I want all of this to just be over at this point, and the request for a final judgement decree was eligible to be filed on April 21. She has not filed this request, and I have been told that since the default was filed and entered, I can not file the request myself. I am unable to contact her (read as she will not return my calls on the matter).
What are my options?? I really just want to be able to get on with my life...
