How long do I have to wait before I can file a default? My ex has no intention of filing a response. Is it 30 WORK days? Or anytime?
My response:
It's 30 "calendar days" from the date of actual, personal, service of the Summons and Petition, unless extended by written stipulation, or if the final day lands on a Sunday or Holiday, and then it goes to the next business day. I hope you had him "personally" served, and didn't make the mistake of merely mailing the papers to him (unless he's out of State).
Also, remember to file your Proof of Service with the court along with your Request for Entry of Default. Make two sets of copies for conforming, keep one set for yourself, and mail a set to your husband, and attach a Proof of Service (signed by and mailed by someone else for you) to your husband.
Good luck.
