S9 Ep59: What Happens if My Ex Ignores Divorce Filing?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman If your ex chooses to ignore a divorce filing, the legal process does not stop; the court will move forward according to its own strict timeline. You can still obtain a final judgment and the relief you are entitled to through a default process even without their participation. * The court does not require the other person's cooperation to move the case forward and will not wait for them to act. * After being served properly, a spouse typically has a 21-day limit to file an answer before the court considers a default. * If the ex-spouse fails to respond, the court can enter a judgment by default, granting the filing party the requested relief. * Ignoring the case can lead to serious legal consequences for the other party, such as the sudden freezing of bank accounts through temporary orders. * It is wise for the other party to participate to have a say, but the court ensures the case reaches a conclusion regardless.
