We are Highly Recommended Folsom Divorce Attorneys
What do I do if I have been served with a divorce petition?
It is essential that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Once you are served with a divorce petition, you have thirty days to file a response. It is important not to miss this deadline, because default orders can be ordered if you fail to respond. There are also automatic temporary restraining orders which are in effect once a divorce action has been filed, and it is important that you understand the limitations of what is permitted once a divorce begins. Our blog article “What are Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders (ATROS)?” may be helpful for you to read after receiving the divorce petition and summons. Finally, when a divorce commences, certain disclosures are required within specific time-frames. Call our office at (916) 631-1996 for a consultation with one of our Folsom divorce attorneys today to discuss your case.
What is an Annulment?
An annulment differs from a divorce in that an annulment treats the marriage as if it never happened, and a divorce ends a marriage. There are limited circumstances where an annulment is available to a client instead of a divorce. Contact one of our Folsom divorce attorneys today if you are considering an annulment so that your case can be evaluated and you can fully understand your options.
