stbx had 20 days to respond to my petition, the 21st day was monday the 14th. i called my attny today and he said as of this morning the 18th there was still no response filed to the court. i know that if it is post marked my the 14th that still counts as responding, so my question is it safe to go forward with a default hearing? stbx asked me on wed if i heard anything regarding his attny filing, i told him that is what he hired an attny for and he need to contact him. by him asking that question i would "assume" that he has filed a response. i am not sure what to do.
