Comments for No response to petition to establish a parenting plan

Motion/ Order for Default
by: FALDP Staff

Maddy,
You should be able to go forward with your petition. The Motion/ Order for Default says to the Court that the other party was properly served, but failed to answer. See Supreme Court approved forms: SUPREME COURT APPROVED FAMILY LAW FORMS 12.922(a), MOTION FOR DEFAULT,
AND 12.922(b), DEFAULT. Instructions for that form state:

If the other party has failed to file or serve any documents within 20 days after the date of service of your petition, you may ask the clerk of the circuit court to enter a default against him or her by filling out this form and filing it with the court. Generally, a default allows you to obtain an earlier final hearing to finish your case. Once the default is signed by the clerk, you can request a trial or final hearing in your case.
