NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES
DEFAULT If the time to answer passes and the defendant fails to answer the complaint, or if the time to reply to a counterclaim passes and the
plaintiff fails to reply to the counterclaim, you may get information and forms from the court for obtaining a default judgment. Default is a
two-part process, you may obtain both sets of forms from the court.
It is required that a VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL be filed if the case is settled out of court prior to answer. If an answer has been filed in the case,
you must file a STIPULATED DISMISSAL.
When an answer is filed the court will set a hearing date within 60 days of the filing of the answer and notify both parties of the time and date by
mail. Bring all evidence, documents and witnesses you need to present your case or establish your defense.
NOTICE OF ADDRESS CHANGE All parties are responsible for informing the court of a current address to ensure that the party can receive all
notices mailed from the court.
COLLECTING THE JUDGMENT AWARD If you are not able to make arrangements with the losing party to collect your judgment, you may
seek a Writ of Execution, a Writ of Garnishment, or an Order for Supplemental Proceedings (debtor's examination). You may ask the court clerk
for the necessary form. Please refer to your instructions.
