Some debt collectors never serve a summons, they simply file an affidavit of service with the court and get a judgement, I think its called sewer service. The poor consumer never knows what happened until their wages are being garnished.

A void judgement is a nullity, and is subject to collateral attack and may be stricken at anytime. The passage of time cannot make valid that which has always been void. Ramagli Reality v. Craver 121 So. 2d. 648 (1960) Florida Supreme Court.

Thanks for the advice. What form needs to be filled out is it a motion for dismissal?

I have a questions that may be not as well known but i bet it happens a lot. I appeared initially for my divorce and was award half time with my child and not support. 4-6 months later we reconciled and she moved back in another to our home in another county for over a year.I decided i was going to go ahead and move out of the home and get my own place 2 months later. this was mutual agreement that it was best. june 1 2015 that year was my move in date to my home and she was going out of town. at this moment, i had no knowledge that the clerk of that court sent a letter two letters one addressed to each of us for notice to dismiss if an answer wasn't filed in 15 days. 2 more letters came within that time frame from her attorney for a notice for a final hearing. I dont find any of this out until june or july 2016. i didn't believe her so i contacted that clerk for that county confirmed she did mail both letters addressed one for each of us by regular mail. now i ended up getting a copy of the letters that said they were sent by rule 21a which is Texas process rules. i can only come to one assumption since the clerk doesnt have any signatures on file, that hearing she went to so quickly by default seems strange. even after that she didnt sign these papers until nov 3 i think and the judge on the 5th and then cleark stamped the 9th 2015. she concealed the whole thing. my understanding is there is a whole bunch of stuff that as to take place before a default can be made including testimony and prove up. we exchanged the child on our own agreement so she couldn't say she couldnt find me. any thoughts?

Does this hold the same for child custody and child support cases?

is getting something in the mail a proper serve?

what if your wife was served my papers but do to the fact she had alzeihiemers she did not know the papers were that important and neglected to tell me.

I just filed a claims of exemption form but I was not properly served a writ of garnishment....I am no longer employed with the company but Midland Funding assumes that I am...I was terminated on January 11, 2018....what are my next steps?
