If you are served with incomplete court papers, first carefully review the documents to identify what is missing. You should then contact the party that served you, requesting the complete set of documents. If necessary, consult with a legal professional for advice on how to respond properly and to ensure your rights are protected. Additionally, consider filing a motion with the court to address the issue if it impacts your ability to respond or prepare your case.

Check with your attorney to see if the papers are served. Or check with the server that you used to serve the wife. When the divorce papers are served the server has to report it to court that the papers have been served so check the court records if your attorney is not available to answer your questions.
