Q: Plaintiff has not requested hearing date for Ab. Div. I was served Apr. '18. Any options for quicker resolution?
I've asked him for an update twice and I keep checking with the courthouse. Can he drag this step out indefinitely or does the period to file a notice expire? As the defendant, am I allowed to file the motion? Thank you in advance.

A: You may already be divorced and he just didn't send you a copy of the divorce judgment as he is required to do. You should check that possibility first. If not and you know how to do it, you should be able to put the matter on the calendar and serve him with notice of the hearing.
