I live in Mississippi. My wife filed for divorce. I checked my PO Box last week and found her lawyer had sent me the papers by mail. Along with a copy of the complaint for divorce and property agreement, I found a Waiver of Process. In the waiver there is something that has me confused. here's what it reads:
"4. Affiant hereby waives the service of process in this cause, and enters his appearance herein for all purposes, with the same effect as if he had been duly served with process, in the manner required by law, on the date of the date hereof, and consents for said cause to be heard and determined at any time convenient to the Court."
So does this mean that i am waiving my right to appear in court? Because someone told me that if I did then they could change the property agreement, without me even being there, when they went to court and they could put the screws to me.
