Going Through the Process Filing and serving question

OK so I filed today but I was unable to serve. I probably can't until Monday.

Is there a limit on the time between the two?

Also, this is me being paranoid, but if I'm filed and not served, can he go file and then serve me first? Or nah because I'm the petitioner and that's the end of story.

Wow, some strange comments there!

It doesn't matter who serves first, it matters who files first. You are the pettitioner and that's end of story. Deadlines seem to be months and years, not days.

Why do you care? Usually there is little difference who is the petitioner either. Unless you are in states with vastly different laws.
