Divorce papers expires?

My son was served with divorce papers in early July. He and his wife were only married for 7 months of which they only lived together for 3 months. They had a baby in May. He never answered the response on the divorce papers because they kept making up and trying to make it work. She never progressed on her end or made any attempt to keep the papers moving. My son's attorney told him he had written in his paperwork that they were trying to work things out, he said her attorney had the same thoughts. How long before the paperwork expires and someone has to re-file? We live in Kansas. She has the baby and won't let him see the baby unless he is kissing her ***.

I don't have any answers for your question, but is your son going to go for custody? As a person with reoccurring major depression, I know what it was like before I was regularly medicated. I thought that I could go off my meds whenever I felt "better", but "better" always ended at some point and I was worse off than before. My brother-in-law suffers from mental illness and when he went off his meds once, his wife found him at home with all of his hair shaved off (not just his head, think "The Wall", eyebrows and all shaved!).

Now that I am medicated (and realize that I need to be for the rest of my life), I can see what my life before could have done to my son. I hate to say that your son should try for custody just because she is bi-polar, but unless she is willing to go on meds full-time, I think it would be better for your grandbaby to be with your son. Maybe just the idea of her losing custody will change her mind about being medicated.

Early 20's. She is mentally ill (Bi-polar and more - won't take meds) and plays mind games with him. I think he is ready to be finished with her. It is obvious she is using the baby as a pawn and he can't go on like this much more. He feels so depressed. I think he is afraid of her.

Do they for sure want a divorce? Why do they keep going back and forth with this? How old are they?
