A default judgment occurs when the defendant in a legal case fails to respond to a court summons or does not appear in court. If this occurs, a court may rule in favor of the plaintiff by default.
A default prove up is essentially a short court hearing where the individual seeking the divorce presents evidence to the judge. This is necessary because, in a default situation, the judgment is submitted without the agreement or participation of the other spouse.
To stop the entry of a default or default judgment before it is entered, one generally has to file something in court. This can be an Answer, a Motion to Extend Time, a Motion to Quash Service of Process, or perhaps others. A motion will likely interrupt entry of a default, but a motion is merely a request.
This is the hearing where you would have to prove the damages you are claiming, including any special damages (wage loss, medical expenses, etc.) and general damages (emotional disstres and pain and suffering). In some ways, this hearing is just like trial testimony.
You cannot “respond” to a default judgment in the same manner you might respond to a complaint in a civil case. A “judgment” means it's over . . . the other side won and can now start looking for your assets to collect on the judgment. A “default judgment” means that the other side won without a fight.
A default judgment (also known as judgment by default ) is a ruling granted by a judge or court in favor of a plaintiff in the event that the defendant in a legal case fails to respond to a court summons or does not appear in court.
In other words, a judgment on the pleadings is a judgment on the facts as pleaded, while a summary judgment is a judgment on the facts as summarily proved by affidavits, depositions, or admissions.
Judgment is a court decision that settles a dispute between two parties by determining the rights and obligations of each party. Judgments are classified as in personam, in rem, or quasi in rem. Judgments are usually monetary, but can also be non-monetary, and are legally enforceable.
