Description

The Affidavit form for entry of default withdrawal is a legal document used to request the court to declare that a defendant has failed to respond to a legal complaint. This affidavit is typically submitted alongside an application for entry of default and is essential for attorneys seeking to move forward with a default judgment. Key features include a declaration of service completed on the defendant, details about any prior appearances by the defendant, and an assertion that the defendant has not responded within the required timeframe. Filling out this form requires accuracy in citing rules of civil procedure, the proper identification of parties, and notarization for authenticity. Specific use cases for this form include cases where defendants neglect to respond to lawsuits, enabling plaintiffs to secure judgments without further hearings. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, and legal staff, as it streamlines the process of obtaining a default judgment and simplifies documentation. Paralegals and legal assistants may also find it beneficial for assisting attorneys in preparation and filing to expedite case proceedings.
