A divorce can be considered contested when either your spouse contests the divorce or you contest your spouse’s divorce filing. If you are the one who has been served with divorce papers, you have 30 days from the date of service to file a response to the divorce petition. Contesting the divorce or any of the stipulation in the filing that affect assets, child support, child custody or alimony must be done within 30 days of filing the response.
