Hi.
I filed a petition to establish parental relationship almost a month ago. On the petition it said that the respondent had 30 days to respond or it would effect custody or force her to be sanctioned. 30 days will come by on May 4th. What will happen if May 4th comes and I still have not been served with a response?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
This is very typical. If she doesn't respond; i.e., defend against your allegations, then you'll obtain your default and orders from the court, including visitation as you requested, along with an order of child support based upon the Income and Expense Declaration that you filed with the court.
I hope you get your orders. Good luck.
