Q: My wife has filed for divorce in June in Michigan and she told me about. But till now I still didn't receive any paper?
What's my next move now, is it to wait for the court paper? or what should I do ?
A:
It's up to the plaintiff - your wife in this situation - to serve you the paperwork in order to continue the process; that must be done within three months of filing with the court, otherwise the court could dismiss the case for lack of service, and she would have to file anew.
Have you asked her for the paperwork?
