You must file for divorce with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where you or your spouse have lived for at least 6 months. You'll start by filing a complaint for divorce, or petition for divorce, with the legal grounds for your divorce and what issues you want the court to address.
If you respond, this means you will participate in the divorce process and have input on any court decisions. You and your spouse may still agree and not need to go to court. If you don't agree, you can use a court process to have the court decide. File your Response within 30 days of getting the Petition.
If you are served a complaint for absolute divorce, you must respond by filing an answer. In an answer, you agree or disagree with the statements your spouse made in their complaint. You can use form CC-DR-050 (Answer to Complaint/Petition/Motion).
If you don't file a response within 30 days of getting the Petition form, your spouse or domestic partner can ask for a default. If there's a default, the court won't let you file a response and can decide the case without you. If it's been more than 30 days, check with the court to see if your spouse got a default.
