QUESTION: I filed a divorce and my spouse was served in March, 2011. The proof of service wasn't filed until July 2011. Which date is the one to refer to when wanting to file a default judgment?
MY RESPONSE:
Neither date.
The date that service was made (not the filing date of the divorce or the proof of service) is the operative date from which you start counting the 30 days within which the Response should have been filed, for purposes of your Request to Enter Default.
