Charlotte, NC asked in Family Law and Child Support for Florida

Q: What do I do next if my ex motions to set aside default before the final judgement?

What is my next step if my ex fills out the Motion To Set Aside Default form? She is in default from my supplemental petition for modification for timeshare and child support. (I assume she would need to get a lawyer at that point and I will no longer be able to self litigate effectively. The judge granted me primary residence out of state, but maintains jurisdiction in Florida.)

A: This is between your ex and the court. If he or she can present a good cause, the court could grant the default and the case moves on. There is not much you can do.
