Phred, I am a full time single dad of two of the most incredible children ever to set foot on the face of this planet. (ok i might be just a little biased)
I have full custody of my children, ages 10 and 7, and have had since they were 4 and 21 months. Their mother has completely walked out of their lives, and truthfully it's just not fair to them. I'm not gonna go on a rant here about what kind of woman i think she is for doing this, but I will say that it is the only source of ill feelings i harbor towards her. Watching my 10 y.o. daughter cry herself to sleep over this at times, has really opened my eyes dramatically. Your child deserves you to make an effort to be a part of her life, regardless of your issues w/ your ex. You have a moral obligation to be the best parent you can be to her. I won't rant any more about that because it's not my intent to beat you up about this, but rather to give you insight from the other side.
As far as the legal issues go, you NEED an attorney, you also NEED to contact the court, inform them of your receipt of the papers and ask if there is any reason that you haven't received a judgment in this case, or if there is anything you need to be doing to get this done and over with.
