What if a party does not respond to a divorce or child custody petition?

If a party does not respond to a divorce or child custody petition within the required time period, usually 21 days, then the petitioner can ask the court to enter a default judgment against the other party. This means that the court will likely grant what the petitioner has asked for in the petition.
