You need not respond to such calls. If your husband has indeed filed a divorce petition then you will receive a notice and then you will have to represent your self before the court. You may also represent through counsel for initial dates.

If your husband has filed petition for divorce, it is for the court to serve summons to you by the court Bailiff at your address . you are not required to go to court for it. But you can always ask that person the details as to Petition Number and which court it is filed for your knowledge.
