I really hope someone out there can answer this question for me.
1. My husband had divorce papers served on me. At the time, I was in shock as we were about to make a cross-country move and I had been ill. I didn't even want to touch those papers at the time. I told him I wasn't signing anything at the moment. He agreed we could have a trial period to work things out. However, later looking at the documents, it said that unless I served him (and the court) back with papers within 21 days (or somewhere around that many), the divorce could become final in 90 days. Now it's past that and I am getting worried as I REALLY need the healthcare benefits I get right now. If I could somehow extend the date beyond the 90 days (possibly to the "court date" they set for us?), it would really help me out with my health.
Bottom line: I have not filed anything and the address on the court documents is my old address in WA. Is there anything I can still do to avoid having this be final right when the 90 days are up???????????????
3. Lastly, on the chance that my husband decides not to go through with the divorce (at least not right now), how does that happen? Does he just not go back to WA and have a court date? If he doesn't do anything, does anything happen?
4. Would he have to then again refile on me after a certain time had passed and he didn't do anything on the original papers?
Please help! Thanks so much, I know I had a lot of questions. I really appreciate any help.
