I have a question too and hope someone can help me. I filed for divorce and the lawyer sent the papers cetified mail to my soon to be ex and copies to his lawyer. If the soon to be ex doesn't sign for and pick up the certified papers what happens? Does that void the case? Does that look bad for him? It sure seems like everything is in his favor. He has a new girlfriend, who has a nicer house and he's living there for free, he "lost" his job but he has a new truck. He just has a free ride and I'm stuck trying to figure out how to pay for the house, utilities, food, medical insurance etc etc and he is just having a good old time. I sure don't understand. And in Ohio I can't even use the fact that he's living with another woman and has been having an affair with her for over a year against him!!
