Once you've been served, you have the choice to to file a Response (FL-120) within 30 days unless (a) you do not object to the requests in your spouse's Petition (like, you agree that they are asking for child or spousal support or other things); (b) your spouse has granted you an extension (in writing) to hold off on filing a Response while the two of you mediate or negotiate the issues involved in your divorce (assets, debts, kids, financial support, attorney fees); or (c) you are filing another document to try to dismiss or move the divorce to another county or state.*
