What is the name of your state? FL
Was sued, Plainitff did not show, and won countercliam by default and received a judgment.
Plaintiff/Counter defedant filed for a "motion to set aside judgment", based on a questionable excuse for not appearing and the court denied their request to set aside the judgment because they "did not allege a meritorious defense."
Now the Plaintiff/Counter defendant tells me they had a poor lawyer (never knew they even had one) and have filed yet another motion to set aside (the second one now) the orginal judgment claiming they now have a "meritorious defense".
What are the chances of this being set aside after having been denied once?
Is there anyway defend this once and for all?
Can they file any further motions, or can I now proceed with recording lien and going through collections process?
