Good day, I always strive to reply in the shortest possible time,I may be delayed answering other questions, attending a meeting or in court.These are left in the petition because they are all the various options that can be pursued by a person petitioning for divorce in respect of financial matters but this does not mean that they will be pursued if you come to a financial settlement. You do not need to refer to these when you reply to the Court. What you will have received is an Acknowledgement of Service in which you simply need to answer the questions and in particular state you do not wish to defend the divorce.Please remember to only rate my answer when you are fully satisfied. If you feel the need to click either "Helped a little" or "I expected more" please stop and reply to me via the REPLY or CONTINUE CONVERSATION button with the issue that you have. I will be happy to continue further and do everything I can to provide you with the service that you seek.Best wishes FE

Even if you do not intend to defend the case do you object to paying the cost of the proceedings?
