Michigan Motion To Set Aside Default Judgment is a motion filed by a party to a lawsuit in order to invalidate a default judgment that was entered by the court without their knowledge or consent. This motion is typically used if a defendant in a case did not respond to a complaint or lawsuit within the timeframe specified in the court rules, or if they were not properly served with the complaint or summons. There are two types of Michigan Motion To Set Aside Default Judgment: the standard motion, which is filed within 28 days of the default judgment being entered, or the motion for relief from judgment, which may be filed at any time. In both cases, the motion must demonstrate the existence of extraordinary circumstances that led to the default judgment, and provide evidence that the defendant has a valid defense to the allegations in the complaint.
