may file a motion to obtain your default decree without attending a
hearing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">All</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> cases start the same by initiating the action. The initial documents are prepared, reviewed, revised and signed by the Petitioner, the person initiating the case, and filed with the Court. The Petitioner will either pay the required filing fee, or file an application to defer or waive the filing fee, at the time of filing the initial documents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">If the other party, the Respondent, does not respond within the appropriate time period, the next step in this process is to file an Application and Affidavit of Default. This document is filed with the Court and a copy mailed to the other party. The other party has 10 additional business days to file a response and pay their filing fee, or have it deferred or waived. If they fail to do so, an automatic entry of default will be entered against them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> The final step in a Default Decree Without
A Hearing is signing the Motion and Affidavit for Default Decree Without A
Hearing. This document may not be signed and filed until after the 60 day waiting period
has passed. This document is filed with the Court and a copy of the Motion with
three copies of your final default decree is delivered to the Default
Commissioner with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for each party. The default
decree is mailed to both parties from the Court once the Default Commissioner
signs the decree and it is filed with the Court. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
