Owner-builders. An owner-builder is someone who takes on most of the responsibility for domestic building work carried out on their land. As an owner-builder you would need to obtain building permits, supervise or undertake the building work, and ensure the work meets building regulations and standards.
Posted September 25, 2009 10:33pm. I assume you mean that you each filed a Summons and Petition for either dissolution of marriage or legal separation, and a request for custody of children. It doesn't really matter who filed first, the controlling issue is who was served first.
Or you might think if you do nothing, the other parent will not be able to move forward with the case. Ignoring the custody papers will not make the case go away. In fact, once you are served with a summons and complaint for custody, you only have 20 calendar days to file your own papers in response. If you do not, the court could enter a default against you, and the other parent may be able to get everything they asked for in their complaint.
