Grounds for Vacating a Final Judgment Mistakes, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; Newly discovered evidence that could not have been reasonably discovered previously; Fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party; The judgment is void; or.
The default final judgment is obtained by delivering to the Court a Motion for Default Final judgment-Residential Eviction (Form 78) and/or a Motion for Default Final judgment - Damages (Residential Eviction) (Form 79) with an Affidavit of Damages (Form 80).
A common summary of the rules for setting aside (excusing) a default is frequently quoted by Florida appellate courts: A party attempting to set aside a clerk's default must demonstrate excusable neglect, a meritorious defense, and due diligence in order for the trial court to vacate the default.
Generally, a default allows you to obtain an earlier final hearing to finish your case. Once the default is signed by the clerk, you can request a trial or final hearing in your case.
A party wishing to contest the order must file a Motion to Vacate within ten (10) days after the Circuit Judge enters the order approving the recommendations of the Child Support Enforcement Hearing Officer.
With few exceptions, once a default judgment is entered in Florida, a defendant loses their chance to fight the judgment. In other words, it typically does not matter if, later on, the defendant asserts that the judgment is unfair, uses incorrect numbers, is based on wrong information, or any other number of excuses.
(I) Disposed by Default – a defendant chooses not to or fails to contest the plaintiff's allegations and a judgment against the defendant is entered by the court; (J) Disposed by Judge - a judgment or disposition is reached by the judge in a case that is not dismissed and in which no trial has been held.
Default Hearing Process: During the default hearing, the petitioner presents their case, providing evidence to support their claims. The judge evaluates the evidence and considers the petitioner's arguments.
