Re: divorce in default
If judgment has not been entered you can hire an attorney to apply to the Court to set aside the default and file an Ansnwer to the Complaint.
If there is property to divide the court rules require that you be given notice of plaintiff's plan for distributing same and you can appear at
the scheduled hearing and advise the judge that
you want to contest the matter. He may or may not be receptive to such an application.
