Legal Question in Family Law in California
filing response after 30 days
My wife filed for divorce through a para legal as uncontested. She did not include form FL-160 regarding our house. I recieved a request to enter default from the para legal. I did not agree to giving her the house and now I see that she wants to be awarded the house in the judgement. Is there anything that I can do immediately to protect my interest in the house?

If a default has been entered you need to set aside the default. There is a time limit on your ability to set aside the defualt, so move quickly. You should not risk this without an attorney, you have a lot to lose. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

In a general sense, you have to file a motion to set aside the default. You have to do so within certain time constraints. You have to attach your proposed Response to the motion to set aside your default.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you immediately consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
