Son's Law Firm He Hired To Answer A Divorce Summons Failed To File The Response In Time?
Arkansas - Greeting folks......my son was served a summons on 10-6 for divorce with a 30 day response required. He did not have the money to hire an attorney, so I paid $2500 to secure one so he was represented. We had the initial call with the firm, and I paid with a debit card one week before the deadline. The firm failed to answer until today. In their answer they acknowledged their mistake with missing the deadline and asked the court to deny her motion for default because it was not my son's fault and the firm lost 3 attorneys the week of the deadline. It looks like we have 2 possibilities......the court deny the motion for default by her attorney and accept his response or deny my son's request and award a default judgement. If the court awards her the default judgement what could/should be his next step. Also, any other words of wisdom are appreciated. We are retired and the $2500 is painful but I couldn't let him go it alone. There is home equity and a 10k joint loan in play. She owned the house before marriage but since marriage the house equity grew by about 60K. They also have a 5-year-old son during their 9 years of marriage.
