Relief from Default Judgment Still a long way to go for COR and followers. Check the following:

The trial court can set aside a default judgment if the defendant can show a good reason for his or her failure to answer the complaint or otherwise defend the lawsuit. The courts recognize the following as grounds to set aside a default judgment:

Mistake or excusable neglect

Newly discovered evidence that could not have been discovered before by due diligence

Fraud

Seeking relief from a default judgment varies between the states. In Ohio, a person has up to one year after a judgment is entered to file a motion to set aside a default judgment while in Arizona, the time period is six months. The defendant must show that (1) the failure to answer within the time required by law was due to one of the reasons mentioned above; (2) that relief was promptly sought after finding out about the default judgment; and (3) that the defendant had a good defense to the lawsuit.
