A notice of appearance is sometimes similar to an "Entry of Appearance" meaning a lawyer has been hired by a party to the case. It is often filed with the original petition. There may not be a court date at this point. This is your chance to respond to the petition, and make any contestations you have. If your spouse has an attorney I'd suggest you get one as well.

Contact her attorney for further info and go from there. They probably want to work out the details of a settlement before going to court. You dont need an attorny for this as they will send you papers and you agree with or disagree with any parts and send it back to be remodified, so save your money for now. If you have any questions or if I can help email me at thunder_wright@yahoo.com and Ill advise you as much as Im allowed to. you dont need a attorney to make your decisions for you or any fancy law degree, just as long as you caefully read and understand fully what she wants and definitely do not sign anything from them until you agree 100% with everything no matter what they say. Because if you do itll be really hard to reverse in court. You can also tell them you have a legal advisor without disclosing my identity until needed as it will keep them guessing and they usually wont play games if they think you have someone advising you. Totally legal

A lawyer cannot serve papers to have you show up to them. Only before a judge. Call the clerk of court and see what is up and if there is no court date then the lawyer has violated the ethics, lol, of the law and have him brought up before a judge to explain themselves.

You call the court and find out the court date or you call the attorney and ask her. Simple.

does it have a filed stamp on it? do not answer unless it has a filed mark (stamp time and date when it was received by the clerk). If there is a filed stamp on it call the court house, they might have forgotten to write it in.

the only reason you have to go to court is if you don't want the divorce. If you agree to it and just want it to be done you don't have to show up, if you go its to contest the divorce.

You may need to retain your own attortney......If not go to the local county court and see if someone there can assist you from there.....
Good Luck***
