I filed my divorce and my husband was served his papers by the sheriff dept, 30 days past with no response. I now should filed for request to enter judgment by default. Do I have a certain amount of time in which to file the request by default? What happens if I never file the request by default? I believe our marriage can be reconciled. If after a reasonable amount of time has been given to reconcile and it is not reconciled, can I still file my request to enter default judgment? What if it's a year since I filed my divorce, can I still request the default judgment? I filed the divorce too hastily. – Fae

Fae: In my jurisdiction, the court will dismiss a case when no action has been taken for a year. You could ask the court to stay the proceedings while you try to reconcile, but the easier way to do it might be to dismiss you complaint and refile it when and if you are ready
