What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

I filed for divorce and my spouse was served 20 days ago, since then things have gotten better but I want to give ita few months before I either go through with it or cancel it together. Is there anything that I need to do? :confused:

Additionally, my spouse has not responded since being served.

You don't need to do anything until the first scheduled hearing. Alternatively, you could withdraw the complaint and then refile it later if necessary (I did that).

There are no hearings scheduled automatically.

OP, if all you filed was a summons and complaint, you can let it just sit there for as long as you want. Your husband can even answer and nothing will happen. In fact, I'd advise that he should respond.

If in a few months, you decide you don't want to go through with it, file a dismissal.
