Temporary Orders In Divorce Cases

A petition for dissolution has been filed with the clerk of the circuit court. A summons has issued against the spouse and it has in fact, been properly served. From that point, the respondent has thirty days to file an appearance in the case; otherwise, a default can be entered. Additionally, the respondent needs to file an answer to the petition on file. The respondent may also wish to file a counter-petition to the one filed by the petitioner.
