Yes. Plus we are trying to get more money through that means 1st so we can avoid an alienation of affections/criminal conversation that will happen if he doesn’t pay up now.

Nothing will happen with your answer and counterclaim until you move the action forward. You should start by reviewing the local rules for each county.

What happens after my stbx files divorce papers and I answer with a Answer and Counterclaim about our original ED that he has not been abiding by. Does he now have to answer me back within a certain amount of time. My attorney says he can go ahead and get the divorce. I am not concerned about that. I just need to know what happens to my Answer and Counterclaim.
