What is the name of your state? Tennessee
BM was served with a petition to change custody on March 15th, while we were in court to affirm temporary custody. My understanding, she has 30 days to file an answer. She now has obtained Legal Aid to represent her, and they have send a letter to our attorney notifying her that they will be filing an answer. My question is, do they still have to file an answer within the 30 days?
The judge made it perfectly clear he wanted this one on the fast track, so SD would be settled and know what was going on. So, we are getting anxious for a response.
