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.


What are a client's rights when their attorney gets their divorce without their knowledge?

How would it happen that you would have no knowledge of this impending divorce? You have to be served with papers, for starters. That should be a clue. Every effort has to be made to notify you of the divorce action before it can be continued without you. Once you have been served, you have knowledge. If you ignored this, never answered the requests for court appearance, etc., in some states it means the divorce is granted to the petitioner by default. Unless you are in "hiding" so that no one can contact you (and you'll eventually need to explain that one), it is pretty hard for a divorce to go through with no input from you.
