My husband left my daughter and I to move back to Michigan to be with his ex girlfriend. I am filing for divorce and I need to know what happens in the State of Colorado or in general if he refuses to sign the papers and if he does not show up for court. He has some problems and one minute he is ok and the next he is off on something that he refuses to do anything.
I dont think he cares and will sign the papers what i am afraid of is that he will fight for our daughter and he has barely been a part of her life except to ignore her (she is 9 months old)
HELP

Get a good private lawyer or a public legal aid attorney to protect your rights and for custody of your child. He deserted you and your and his child. Loss of support and loss of affection; adultry and abondonment should give you good grounds for divorce. If you have assets, protect them right away. Remember, private attorney fees can ad up if they get involved in the litigation. Don't delay or your assets may disappear.

I do not know about Colorado but I think what he did constitutes desertion no matter where you are from with that being said unless you have done something really horrible it is hard to take a baby away form the mother. you can obtain a legal divorce after one year if he refuses to sign the papers, you must get a lawyer as quick as you can and protect your assets.

Check with your lawyer. That is happen to my friend right now. The first hearing he didn't show, then this time if he doesnt show, then I am going to witness that she was there and thje divorce will be granted.
Again check out you laws there.

Shoud be like a no show in a civil suit, default judgement in favor of the party that showed up. Good luck.

If your a great mom..you'll win. Your a constant in her life and your stable. Your husbands flip-flopping. Not to worry.
God Bless

you win and you are divorce. It shows that he doesn't care. I don't think that they reschedule unless his lawyer has a valid excuse for your husband.

If he doesn't show, that means the divorce is not contested.
This is good for you and your daughter.

I went through this with my last wife. Ask around, get the toughest lawyer you can get, it is always worth the money. If he doesn't show, you will win if your lawyer convinces the judge to get it over with.

If he has been served properly and does not show for the hearing then decisions will be made for him by the judge.
