Divorce by default-california

I filed my divorce pro per and now need to file the default papers since my husband did not respond. I need to find out what papers I need to file? Is it just the notice of default?

Divorce in California

I have a question I hope you can help me with. In July of last year, I filed as a petitioner and also proof of service. My exhusband has not responded. After six months, does the divorce automatically default to divorce, or do I have to file another form to request the divorce be final?

You need to "request to enter default".

Here you can find the instructions: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/forms/documents/fl165instructions.pdf

and here the necessary form:

Watch out for other necessary forms which are mentioned in the instructions and can be found on the court self help website, too.

Default question...

I filed and served the divorce papers in early January. My wife did not respond and this past week I filed the papers to enter default. Is the 6 month waiting period from the time the original papers were served or from the date of the request for default ??

Thanks for any assistance.

default question

i will be filing my default paper work next week since my can't-wait-to -be-ex didn't respond. If he decides he wants something from me ($), can he respond aftert the fact?
