And although I agree with everything asked in the divorce and am ready to proceed, when I asked what to do, they said if I agree to everything to not do anything? I find this hard to believe, they said only filed a response if I disagree with anything. Also on the issue of spousal support it says "TERMINATE ISSUE" and the box that is checked is the one for the responder (me) to not be able to ask for spousal support. Now I don't plan on asking for any at all, but can she can ask for some if it says "TERMINATE ISSUE" and no boxes are checked next to it? And do I really need not do anything if I agree to what's in the divorce papers(Let it fall into default as the cop said)? She's asking for nothing at all, I'm asking for nothing at all. We were really young and we both don't have anything, I just want to make sure what I was told was correct. I live in California.so this is a CA divorce, we've been married just over 4 years, we don't have any children or anything of real value...

Also, she filed herself, she does not have an attorney...I'm just concerned for "default"

She doesn't have an attorney, she filed herself. I don't think she has any malicious intent, I just want to make sure that if I do agree with it, do I just let it go like I've been advised? and if TERMINATE ISSUE is for BOTH parties and not just me...I did go to my local legal area, they were no help at all...

If no children or property are involved then they are correct about you not doing anything. Any bills in both of your name needs to be address before the divorce. Make sure that your not going to be responsible for any bills made after the sepration, otherwise if Ca. has the no fault divorce laws you need to do nothing and it goes on default. If something concerns you, take the papers to any lawyer, ususlly the first visit is free and ask them their advise on it. Since no children she is not allowed spousal support and if she isn't pregnant. If you have any worries then make sure you make it to the court hearing for the divorce, which you should be notified of.

To be positive of your rights and responsibilities, see an attorney. Your area may have a legal aid office that can be of assistance. If nothing else, appear in court on the date in question to insure that the paperwork is as simple as you were told and advise the presiding Judge if you have any problems with the paperwork. The alimony issue may be your only big problem if you have no property or children. You can look up your state's divorce laws online and get some feel for how accurate the paperwork you received might be.

My advice to you is to get a lawyer, and have him review any documents that you have been served with. If you do agree to the terms of the divorce, and you two are able to come to an agreement on which property is yours, then you may be able to take care of the divorce online, since it will be much cheaper, you can probably get the divorce taken care of online for what you will pay for an attorney. Like I said, as long as you both agree to the terms, then you can do that.
If you'd rather take care of this in court and not online, then get an attorney so he can review the documents. You can do nothing and she can proceed with the papers being signed. Just to cover your *** though, I think it would be smart to get an attorney to review your case to make sure you are filling out everything correctly.
Remember, if you are in question of what to sign or to agree to, then do not sign it and get it reviewed. You want to cover your butt to make sure she's not gonna screw you out of anything. Email me if you need more help.

Get a lawyer ASAP or you are going to be screwed. Time is quickly running on your time to respond. You do not want to be in default.
