How long do you have to serve your husband divorce papers?

It depends on your process server. Once you give the papers to the county sheriff or a process server to be served, they will have to locate your wife and serve her the papers. Contact your process server to see if your papers have been served. If you are representing yourself, you can serve the papers to her personally, as long as the original paperwork has been filed with the local county court. If you are represented by counsel, I suggest you ask the attorney representing your interests.

You can refuse to accept them telling the server that you are not the defendant. If you already have the papers, send them back to the plainitff or attorney and state that you are not the defendant. You must not ignore this. If you do, plaintiff will get a default judgment against you and you will have to go to court to have it set aside. That will cost you money and a damaged credit history.
