What is the name of your state? California
My friend 's husband is hispanic and has a permanent green card. He has just advised my friend that he intends to ask for joint custody of their 5 year old daughter. My friend filed for divorce on 10/23/03. Neither have attorneys and my friend used a paralegal firm. The husband has taken back the papers to this paralegal firm and advised that he cannot speak english and wants the papers in spanish. This is a lie and a ploy as he can speak english extremely well. So, I guess my question is what can he realistically do if he does not hire an attorney and/or remit his response to the divorce/custody papers within the 30 days to the court to be filed? Does this make sense?
