Motion for Default.

[pwoody22]

I am trying to help my friend with his divorce. He was married years ago. However, his wife and him split within a few months. They just never divorced. He was able to file because he filled out the affadivit of indegency and it was granted. He has filed petition, it has been served. He already has custody of kids. He does want child support. He filed a motion for default after the 20 days. the motion for default was granted. His wife has not filed anything and has said that she is not going to. He filed a waiver of financial disclosure. She has not. I know that the child support guidelines worksheet still must be filled out, however what about the financial affidavit? Will he have to fill it out or will the waiver be granted since the motion for default was granted. I know he has to file the motion to compel. What happens if she never answers the motion to compel? Will he have to still fine the financial affidavit short form or not?

He does need to file a financial affidavit. Sounds like everything else is on track.
