I got my ex served with divorce papers so what happens next? I know that he has 30 days to respond to the petition where he has to served you back, but what is the next step for my part? Do I just wait for him to respond in those 30 days or do I have to go to court with the proof of service? A detailed anser is appreciated. Thank You.

Question Details: I already finished :
1. Proof of service of summons
2. Certificate of Counsel

So what to do next? I’m so confused.
Next is: 1. Mail origianl, 5 check and 2 copies to the court and court will mail me back the stamped with copy of certificate of counsel
2. My friend take that copy of certificate of counsel to him to sign or he keeps that copy???
3. What’s next???

Please post step to step for me, thank you so much for your advice!

Im divorced and have a 6 yo son with my ex. I currently paid child support and half of child care. I however, only get my son every other weekend and from 10 am sat to 5pm on sunday. I recently filed papers in family law court Order to show Cause to pick my son up on friday evenings and to split holidays and end the child care since he doesn’t go anymore. I even filed my proof of service and mailed both of them to her. I haven’t received her response to my emails. We are ordered to go to mediation on the 22 and court on the 28 if mediation isnt successful. IF SHE DOESNT SHOW FOR BOTH…the mediation and court date…Does it automatically go in my favor?? Or is there a courts attempt for them to try to contact her? Thanks

I was attacked by the sheriffs they harassed me and I have 5 or 6 witness On September 22,2006 at aprox 9:30 I was trying to get a file sent to the FBI pc20000165. When I asked for the file the clerk was polite she said she had to retrieve the file num. I then seen Richard Jones DA that was apart of the prosecuting attorneys in trial for 148 in which I was found not guilty. He looked at me then walk away. Then the sheriff’s came out and said do you had a warrant for harassing staff I said no he ran me name well I guess who ever sent the memo lied or the judge didn’t think so and didn’t issue a warrant. So I didn’t even get to file the letter [the people who aren't afraid to stand up when its wrong thanks]. I was so damage that I missed work. The court has covered up these felonies to further continue the conspiracy of Theft of court paper work, terrorism, terrorist threats and conspiracy to cover it up. ON 7/10/00 1:31 falsified min order with Allen p fields and the 28 day extension from riley was too. This hearing was a fake it was a cover up for the theft Of a proof of service in which they used judge Riley. I filled this motion at the counter. the lady Lynn Murray called me a liar then she went at got the file she said your a liar I ask her to get supervisor She said her supervisor was on vacation so I said get any sup robin Parker came made sure it was in order she look in file saw the court letter to me from daina ecabell and said we have to take it. In addition, she made sure it had a proof of service attach to it stapled. And made me change the part about the medical docs where submitted not attached now she missing and they said Murray was dead. The extension enter for a 28 by riley was a false . So Allen p fields is not the only judge used. Then on 4-12-01 exparte min order hearing set before pro tem Judge Steven Br Keller set a hearing for 5-16-01. In which he set this case for trial.on 5/17/2001 protem appointed James j O’Brian to be acting judge extra and on the same day 17 there was a letter from riley asking me to answer his survey for his settlement program or something .Then on 5-21-01 motion for judgment on pleading was interred by Allen, p fields retired judge appointed chief justice in 1998. Gave a tentative ruling and set the hearing for 5-30-01 so who set that hearing up and said I was present for the 5/21/2001? That is false they lied. I was given that on the 23 third of May after the 21st hearing they set up the hearing on 5-21-01. Mailed notice to Travis smith in five days plus was able to get chief justice Allen p fields to hear it in 5 days not possible . So if those to be falsified then the judge who herd the 5/30/2001 was and so is the proposed order filled and signed by someone impersonating a judge. Plus the bailiff who threatened me on Oct 30 2000 came in the bailiff that was there look at him and said don’t threaten him and then the officer who threaten me said yea we know what would happen I took that as a threat this was a group effort I pressing charges of theft conspiracy and terrorist threats case number pg0102054 Commissioner ward dryer is part of a felony investigation where Jackie davenport falsified a court order police report pg0102054 in which she said That commissioner ward dryer vacated a motion to review filed at front counter. She lied and told him told him it was the one I fax Jackie Davenport did this to cover up theft. But commissioner ward dryer told Travis smith in front of 2 sheriffs that he did not vacate the motion that was filed at the counter. She falsified a min order. After it was fax I was asked to come in and file it when I got there I was surrounded by the sheriffs accused of threatening the court. The did this to humiliate me then they thrown away all the documents police report pg0102054 on august 2 2000 I had a hearing for case number pd1541 where commissioner ward dryer look at me and said that if you was Working. I would make me pay for the whole thing after he look at Steven valentine and said u know how We talk about attorney fee well I cant because he not working well if Ken Torkelson attorney at law would have not forge the process servers name on the proof of service. Sheriff report 96-14356 he would have gotten a complete record Of Travis smith medical records. Then he would have known that he has been disable since 1994 also the dismissal hearing for tom martin the bailiff that threatened me came in and the other bailiff said don’t threaten him we know what will happened. Police report he called Travis out of the court room and took to jury room push into the corner and had his hand on hi gun and said if you have a problem ill take care of it right now. A court order was falsified to hide the theft her and the staff committed due to that fact. Travis says that the prejudice he has encountered has devastated him Plus my divorce case and family case was done the same way so my father hood taken: on July 12 I filled mediation questioner I asked for my file sent down stairs to the legal clinic they lost it. Then on July 17 I had a mediation hearing she couldn’t find my file so the completion paper work was never seen. The mediator is the same person that is on the pg0102054 Travis smith I received a letter apologizing for not responding to my complaint about her calling me a liar. After they had falsified the min order and court hearing. 0n the 20 Fourth of July I went to sanction hearing. Judge riley said I was not allowed to use the legal aid because they do not do civil I tried to tell him I was talking about my family law case but it did not matter. I Travis smith here by file charges of conspiracy on the El Dorado county district attorney office, superior court and Placerville police for conspiracy In trying to make me go away I went to trail on a 148 and was found not guilty Jan 5 2005 . I was trying to pickup report pg0102054. They did this to make me go away. So that makes mike Scott guilty of false arrest. There were reports of theft of court paper, work and terrorist threats. So why wont they prosecute because its against the court’s they assaulted me and arrest me falsely the court has thrown every thing out on paper work knowing Travis was disabled and couldn’t afford a attorney I have lost my father hood my medical I am suffering the condition was brought on by terrorist threats I am scared for my safety when I leave my home Travis smith

I am currently going through a divorce. I filed over a month ago and I mailed the papers to my husband because he and I are not on speaking terms. I had them sent certified mail to 3 of his addresses where I knew he lived at at least one of them, and at the very least would get the mail. So I did all my paperwork and even took my proof of service by mail to clerk to show the papers were mailed. Well, to this day he has not and will not sign them. I called the court, and explained the situation they are now telling me I need to make an appointment for mediation. WTF? I thought THEY were the ones who made the court date and took care of that. Then they tell me that I need to bring him in with me so we can have mediation. Hello! We don’t get along so how am I suppose to get him to go in with me when he won’t even sign? Has anyone been through this? I just need to know ASAP what to do next because it’s getting ugly. We’ve been trying to be civil about child visitation as well and
that’s just not working out. It’s been kind of worked out so that he takes our son every other weekend and a couple of days in between. He had our son from this past Friday until Monday, then got a wild hair up his a.s.s. and got mad at me and told me he WAS NOT giving me my son back until we went to court. Then proceeded that he has as much right as I do and that he could keep him and I couldn’t do anything about it. I felt so helpless that he could take my son and I could do absolutely nothing about it. I called the police and they pretty much told me the same thing. Luckily he ended up giving me our son back once my mother went over there. But see it’s getting ugly, and it seems the court just drags their feet about this stuff and doesn’t seem to help much. Any good advice is appreciated.
*He doesn’t work, but claims he has his own business, aka something not legal which he is already going to court for. I am going to look into legal assistance as of tomorrow. As for child support, I’m at a loss for that because there isn’t any proof showing he has an income, and the DA told me that he will not owe any back child support either since he has no job. Pretty much telling me, "when he has a job, THEN call us." However….I know he has filed income taxes the last two years. So I might bring that to their attention.

I have court tomorrow and the person that sent the paperwork through the mail forgot to file the proof of service. I attached a delivery confirmation, plus the person that was served showed up at the mediation that was ordered in the documents sent. Is it really needed?
