Legal Question in Family Law in Montana

If you have proof of service, e.g., if you had a process server serve and return a proof of service, or if you served it by certified mail and you have the signed receipt acknowledging service, you can try filing a motion for default judgment for failure to timely answer. Another option is to respond to the petition for dissolution and parenting by saying that a preceding motion for parenting plan is already at issue, and include a copy of the motion or has been granted by default, and include the order, in a different court.
