Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
divorce
I was recently served with a summons and complaint for divorce. It stated that I had 21 days to file an answer with the court or a default would be entered. On the complaint for divorce it stated that there was property to be divided,(see attached) but there was no attachment. I asked the clerk of the court where the attachent was and they said there was none. I asked them how i was to answer and they told me to get in touch with my ex. I tried to get in touch with her to find out what the attacment was and never received an answer. I never replied to the court and now 21 days later I get a Default from the court with a letter explaining what she is asking for. Does the default have grounds and is it to late now to file an answer.
