Filing Divorce Response Steps
Summary
After receiving divorce papers, you must file a response to avoid a default judgment. Obtain the necessary forms from the Clayton County courthouse or their website, fill them out, and file them with the court. You must also serve a copy of your response to your spouse, which can be done through personal service or certified mail. Filing fees may apply, but a fee waiver is available if you qualify. The sheriffs office handles document service, not legal advice. For exact fee amounts, contact the Clayton County Superior Court. If you need further assistance, consider reaching out to a local legal aid organization.Full Conversation
