After filing divorce paperwork with the court along with a petition for temporary custody orders, how long does it take for the other party to get the papers? Does the person filing have to hand it to the person they want to divorce, mail it or does the court send it to them? Also how long does it take for that person to be granted temporary custody orders?

I have already tried:

www.gay.com
&
www.guyslink.com

But it just seems that people hardly ever go onto them to check their mail. Some members of these sites have not logged on for months on end.

So could someone recommend a really good online dating service for gay men. Also I’m Irish and I need a site were there are lots of Irish guys loging in every day or at least once a week.
General note:
The reason i want to meet someone living in ireland, is because I don’t want a long distance relationship
rabble rouser, I am in fact from Dublin. Being the capital there seems to be alot of gay men on this site. I’ve checked out manhunt.com and I like it. Thanks for the info.

I can’t believe it, but I’m seriously considering walking away from my marriage of 27 years. I love my husband dearly, but he has hurt me so bad and I just can’t quite get over the pain. We’ve been together since middle school. He’s (or at least was) my best friend. Our marriage was almost perfect except for the fact that we couldn’t have children. My husband was told by 3 specialists many years ago that the chances of him having a biological child were impossible. We tried everything under the sun including adoption, but nothing worked. Every opportunity smashed, every door slammed in our faces. 7 years ago, we had a heart to heart and agreed that we loved each other and that if we had to live our lives without children, it would be okay as long as we had each other. Its so weird looking back on that not knowing that even though we were suffering, it was some of the happiest times in our marriage. The hell started the April of ’09. I discovered I was pregnant. I can’t explain how happy I was. I wanted to have a baby so long and finally at 42 I was getting one. My husband was surprised but happy, or so I thought. I first noticed the distance after I had our daughter. He just wasn’t the sweet loving guy he normally was but I thought he was just trying to adjust to fatherhood. We started fighting and we pretty much never fight. He became very suspicious, looking through my phone, my mail, throwing all out fits when I went out. I couldn’t understand why it was happening. He’s always been a but jealous, but his behavior was getting out of control. I got pregnant again a couple months before our daughter’s 1st birthday. He left me after that and accused me of cheating. I mean, he left. Took all his things and filed for divorce. I felt so hurt and angry. He said he’d been suspecting me of cheating since I had first gotten pregnant. It all made since, his paranoia, the fighting, everything. I couldn’t believe after everything we’d been through he’s accuse me of cheating. I was so over all the crap he put me through and I told him if he wanted out, I wouldn’t stop him. We have 2 beautiful children. This was supposed to be the highlight of our marriage and he has f*cked it all up. We don’t live together, but he does come over to see the children. I’ve already proven that both the children are his and now he wants to come back. I’m so angry at him, more angry than I’ve ever been. Why couldn’t he trust me after 27 (really 31) years? He could have at least talked to me instead of keeping it bottled up for almost 2 years. I get it, he thought he couldn’t get me pregnant so when I got pregnant he thought I was cheating, but that doesn’t make me feel better.

I live in California and I served my spouse with divorce papers, but he did not respond. Do I get a court day by mail or do I have to submit a form in order to get a court day??

my wife moved to another state with my kids and filed for divorce. i accepted certified mail with the summons and was not served by a sherriff. I cannot afford a lawyer, but was told by one that they can claim personal jurisdiction. we have no marital assets left, we filed for bankruptcy. I do have a small pension that she could possibly go after. One other lawyer i talked to said they cannot as long as i dont appear in that state. another lawyer completely contradicted that lawyer and said they could easily get personal jurisdiction over me….. please help!!

I am a asian female who got engaged to this man. Since I am a U.S. citizen I brought him to USA, and we got married. We have 3 kids, and been married 9 years. In this time, I got him his U.S. citizenship, sent him to do his medical residency, and then fellowship. I became a 100% devoted wife and a mom. He was doing his studies, while I did everything, and i mean everything from groceries, to car reapirs, to taking kids to school, laundry, cooking, cleaning. I was a full time housewife. Now that he has got a huge paying job as a Endocronolgist, he sent me to my home country for a vacation for 3 months. And now when I am supposed to come back with kids in 2 weeks, he called me and told me that he has divorced me, and sent me some divorce papers in mail. It`s not from family court but he has made it clear that he doesnot want me or kids back. Seems like he`s got something going with another female… what should I do when I get back to USA in 2 weeks, since he might kick us out of the house. Without the family court orders can he kick us out? Or there any support groups in Kansas city, Missouri? My kids are 7 yrs, 5, and 3 yrs old. It`s very hard for me to go through this. He doesn`t even want to talk to his kids, or me. Please somebody help…. Please for GOD sake, give me some advice on what to do???
plz. don`t mind my avatar… I am still using his old ID, don`t have time or the courage to make my own ID yet..
I am a little comforted to know that the parent with kids usually gets the home, but when I do comeback to USA, can he not let me in the house? It`s a rental house , and the lease is in both our names, and all mine, and my kids stuff is in that house, can he just tell me to leave, and will police make me leave until I get it resolved in the court?

I rented a room to a friend of a friend and he turned ugly.
He has started to have an interest in my 13 year old daughter. She is now living in fear because of this.
He has threatened me with an illegal eviction which I don’t care even though I know he could.
Do I have rights?
Can I get a restraining order for this or does something physical have to happen?
This is my house, I will not move
No one is paying attention this question.
I LIVE IN MY HOUSE AND I RENTED A ROOM IN MY HOUSE TO HIM.
No lease signed. But still by law he is entitled to a 30 day notice, but I really don’t care.
And I did do a background check on the guy and it was clean
To the person with no name – He does receive mail here. He can use that against me.
I’m just asking this question from a legal perspective. I am not using it to base my decision on if I should kick him out or not. He’s being asked to leave regardless of the law. In my house, I AM THE LAW. I will suffer the legal repercussions later.
No name – Thanks so much for your input. You have no idea how much I appreciate this~ HUGS

i know how to get a restraining order but.. Do they have to actually cause physical harm? This lady has been constantly harrasing my wife and I. She is saying extremely nasty things to us and our friends. She is coming to our door, sending us mail, etc. Can that be filed in a restraining order or does she need to cause physical harm?

I want to know if I can file a notarized counterclaim to a divorce petition by mail. The plaintiff lives in another county, and it will be difficult to get there to file papers.

I click yahoo mail and a dating site with personal solicitations comes up. Also, other dating sites are advertised. How did it get there?
