Watch this video for an explanation of the forms necessary to file a true default divorce judgment.
Remember, that you cannot file the default until at least 30 days have passed since you served the initial divorce paperwork. You can file the default along with the remainder of the divorce paperwork if you wish.
We have provided a checklist of what forms are necessary to file the true default divorce judgment. We use the checklist to mark of the documents just to make sure we have included all the correct documents. We also submit the judgment checklist to the court when we submit the judgment. This accomplished two things. First, it lets the courts know that we have used their checklist and understand the process. Second, each of the checklists indicate what type of divorce judgment we are submitting, therefore it gives the court a heads up about what forms to be looking for.
The paperwork you submit for the true default is different than that of the uncontested hybrid divorce judgments and contested divorce judgments.
