first divorce.....reponse to papers served


texas

I received my divorce papers...it states I must reply within 20 days. I cannot hire an attorney. Can I do this on my own.....and my questioin is.....who am I responding to exactly. Who will read this, the judge that grants our divorce? and his attorney? It was a short marriage, no children, no property to divide. He is asking that I be responsible for a debt. I want him to share the debt. Is this what I need to state in my reply?

My response:

Does "Barnes & Noble" bookstore give you a clue concerning what to do?

Would you like another clue, or does that one answer your question?

Buy a book that tells you how to respond to your own divorce papers? Anything on the internet about it? Thank you VERY much for your reply.....

Yes... there really are "How to ...books" on divorce


[url]www.divorcesource.com[/url] has an extensive list of state-specific divorce law books. Good for simple divorces. Also, check bn.com (Barnes & Noble) or Amazon.com for other divorce books.
