A Kentucky Entry of Default is an official document filed in a Kentucky state court to notify a defendant of an unresolved lawsuit. It is considered the final step before a court can enter a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff. There are two types of Kentucky Entry of Default: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary entry of default occurs when a defendant fails to appear in court and agrees to judgment against them. An involuntary entry of default occurs when a defendant fails to answer the complaint within the time period prescribed by law, or fails to properly respond to the complaint.
