If Iwas served with divorce papers and have a certain amount of time to “respond”, how do I word the written response or answer?
I know I need to send an “answer” letter to the court clerk. I’m just not sure how to respond. I’m not contesting the divorce. We have a child together.

You should have received a response form with the petition for dissollution, Judicial counsel form FL-120. The form is available online at accesslaw.com judicial counsel forms, and some other websites. You should either retain an attorney to assist you in filing the response or make an appointment with the local family law clinic.
