Answer:
If you sign a waiver of citation, you are giving up your right to be served the divorce papers by a process server. Depending on how the waiver is worded, you may also be giving up your right to receive notice about further actions in the lawsuit, along with your right to have a say in how your property and debts will be divided, and what orders may be made about your children. To make sure you are given notice of each hearing and what the court might order, you should file an answer.
