HOW CAN I RESPOND IF MY WIFE TRICKED ME INTO DEFAULTING?

QUESTION: My wife and I agreed that if I don't respond to the Petition, we would split all assets equally. After the Response deadline passed, my wife didn't honor our verbal agreement and is now asking to keep everything. Her court hearing is in a little over a week and I’m not allowed to participate because I didn't respond in time. What can I do in this case to be able to respond to the divorce and to be able to participate in the court hearing that day?

MY RESPONSE:

You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you, to file an Ex Parte Application for an Order Shortening Time to hear a Motion to Set Aside your Default and allow your Response to be filed, and to take your wife's default judgment hearing off-calendar or at least continue it.

There is no time to lose, given the upcoming hearing.
