If I have responded to being served for divorce and nothing has happened, what can I do to keep the process moving?

In Massachusetts, you can file a motion for temporary orders if there are specific immediate  items that need to be addressed, such as temporary child custody, child support, payment of a mortgage, right to stay in the marital home, and so on. 

If you and your spouse have an agreement as to the divorce, you can walk in the agreement to the probate and family court and have it heard immediately.

If you are looking for financial or other information form your spouse, you have the right to conduct discovery, including requesting documents, sending interrogatories, or conducting depositions.  If you feel this is necessary, you most like want to consult an attorney.

If all this has been done, and you still have not received a date from the court, you may want to send in a letter requesting that the matter be scheduled for pretrial conference.
