Yes, under Code of Civil Procedure section 1005(b) the response must be served on you at least 9 court days before the hearing. Up until that point she is welcome to delay it.

Can I fill for a divorce and still claim my half of the house title is in mine and husband’s name?

Cheating doesn't matter under California law. Each party is entitled to one-half the net value of all assets acquired during marriage. You need a lawyer.

Answered by attorney Sarah B. Russo (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Russo Prince
Yes, you have the right to request alimony, which is now called spousal support, based on the facts you have described.  However, I am a bit confused because if you are 57 now, you will not be 78 in 10 years...Moreover, you should know that in most cases ten years is considered a long-term marriage, which means that you may be entitled to spousal support for a lengthy period of time.  You do not describe what the situation is with your house, i.e. whether it was purchased during marriage, how much equity is in it, but presumably once you ask for spousal support he will no longer be willing to gift his share in the home to you.  You should consider meeting with an attorney in person to further discuss these issues.
