My jurisdiction is: California
-------------------------------------------------------------
june 6: wife served me with divorce papers.
june 11: i met with wife's attorney to agree on how we should split stuff.
we agreed on everything but i thought the spousal support was pretty low: $400.
she makes about $50hr...
as of today: no papers from her attorney regarding settlement have been sent to me.
july 6: my last day to file a response.
--------------------------------------------------------------
this is the kicker....
on her petitition it is check marked:
terminate the court's jurisdiction to award spousal support to respondent.
i've been seeing a legal aid attorney
& their DissoMaster says that i should be getting about $2500!
i sent a fax from legal aid to my wife's attorney
stating that i would be happy with just $1500 month
& that if they don't want to do that,
i am going to setup a hearing with a judge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
the main question is: thanks for your patience.
should i go file a response on monday
to protect myself from her petition that's checkmarked:
terminate the courts jurisdiction to award spousal support - just in case?
------
thank you soooo much for any help any of you can give!
