A: If you have a valid legal reason to move the court to set aside the judgment, then you can do it once you find out about the judgment. For example, if you get garnished for a judgment that was obtained without you being served with the underlying suit, then you could file the Motion to Set Aside when you get notice of the garnishment. If someone 18 years of age or older was living in the residence where attempted service was made for the underlying suit, but they failed to give you the documents that were served, that constitutes service on you and the above-referenced legal defense will not work for you. There are several other legal reasons to set aside a judgement, but you should file the motion once you become aware of the judgment.
