Legal Help for a Default Divorce
If one spouse fails to respond to a divorce petition filed by the other within the time proscribed by law – or misses a court hearing – that spouse is in default.
A default divorce can be a simple way to end a marriage, but it does carry some serious risks. Contact The Law Office of Morgan Smith of Nashville today to protect your rights during your divorce.
Reap the Rewards of a Default Divorce
If your spouse does not file an answer to your complaint, and does not appear in court, you may seek a default judgment in which the court will grant your divorce and typically award you with what you have requested in your complaint.
Beware of the Downside of a Default Divorce
Engage a reputable attorney for advice about defaulting on a divorce, including:
- The timeline to overturn a default divorce judgment against you
- Understanding the rights you give up by defaulting
- Protection against failing to serve paperwork in a timely manner
