FAQ
If either party is dissatisfied with the judgment, that party may appeal (request a review of the judgment by a higher court). Either the state court or the superior court in the county will hear the appeal, and either party may request a jury trial. Appeals must be made within 30 days from the judge's decision.
Once service is completed, your spouse has 30 days to file their Answer. If they fail to do so, you can request the court for a divorce “by default.” The term “default divorce” generally means that the divorce petition is granted in favor of the petitioner because the respondent has failed to reply.
A defendant can challenge the entry of default by filing a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c), which allows the court to set it aside for “good cause” shown. Under certain circumstances, the court is required to do so.
This is a brief explanation of the process of obtaining a judgment in magistrate court when the defendant has not answered or appeared, which is called a default judgment. To start the process you must file a default judgment affidavit form form SCA-M429/10-96 which can be obtained from the magistrate clerk's office.
A motion to set aside may be brought to set aside a judgment based upon: Lack of jurisdiction over the person or the subject matter; Fraud, accident, or mistake or the acts of the adverse party unmixed with the negligence or fault of the movant; or.
If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to “set aside” (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.
Consider the following five approaches: Show that the motion fails to list the specific facts and law supporting summary judgment. Show that a dispute exists on a material fact. Show that the law does not support judgment on the undisputed facts.
Respond to each of the Defendant's arguments – A defendant usually makes several points in the “Argument” section of its Motion to Dismiss. You should respond to each point. Most Memoranda cannot be longer than 15 pages (excluding title page).
