I recently went in my husbands car and found papers from the County I reside in saying that my husband is filing for divorce. They are legal documents. On the third page is a picture of myself and a further description, i.e. Height and weight and hair color. My husband told me that I accepted the documents from the person serving them. I never was served with papers!!! I don't know what game if any he and his lawyers are playing. it was dated March 17, 2017. It is now almost June. I know I have a certain time frame to file them but if I never received them how would I have known. I keep reading that it goes into default if I don't answer within that time frame. I'm so baffled and have to get a lawyer but I was just curious about what happens in a case like this. Thank you for any advice.
