What is the name of your state? Kansas
As I've posted before, I'm getting divorced. My husband filled out the papers and said he would take care of the expenses since he has more money than me.
I realized after I received the papers on Nov 10th that I needed a lawyer. I have made an appointment to talk to a lawyer on Nov 29th.
My papers are dated Nov 4th. There is a stamp on them that says received at the sheriff office Nov 7th. I received them Nov 10th, as mentioned above.

Does this mean that I will have to be in court before the 30th, since I received my papers on the 10th? It doesn't say any date or time that I have to be there.
If that is, could I ask the judge for an extension of any sort?
What is that about "May ____ 2005"? Any date in May has already passed.
