An Alaska Request/Order to Set Aside Default Judgment is a legal document filed in an Alaska court when a defendant wishes to dispute a judgment that has been entered against them due to their failure to appear or respond to a complaint. The request/order must be filed within 30 days of the judgment being entered. The defendant must provide a sufficient explanation as to why the judgment should be set aside. There are two types of Alaska Request/Order to Set Aside Default Judgment: Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment and Motion for Relief from Default Judgment. The Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment is used if the defendant claims that they had a valid defense to the complaint, but due to an excusable neglect, they failed to file their answer or otherwise appear in court. The Motion for Relief from Default Judgment is used when the defendant has a valid defense to the complaint, but the default judgment was entered against them due to their failure to follow court rules or procedures.
