Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Can I get default based on no response

I filed for divorce last may. My ex filed an answer asking for equity in my home which was bought by me prior to the marriage. (but I did refinance and added his name on the deed but not the mortgage)We ammened my petition and have set up mediation and he has not responded to any further pleadings. We are now on the 31rst day of an appear or appoint notice since his counsel withdrew from his case. Can I now move to the courts to ask them to set aside his pleading and grant a default? No children of this marriage. Marriage ended after 16 months. Ex refused to hold a job and provided no finances to the marriage

Re: Can I get default based on no response

Short answer is yes, however the court will probably not grant your request unless properly filed under Rule 56 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. You may call for a free consultation.
