after eviction goes to court does court serve you with papers to leave premises?

Question

I was supposed to go to court for eviction on august 11, I could not get off work to attend. I was under the impression that after the judge ruled for me to leave the apartment that I would be served papers and given between 3 and 10 days to vacate. I have been locked out and am not able to get my belongings. Is this legal without me receiving judgement from proceedings on 8/11

Answer 1

You were served BEFORE you went to court. If you don't show up to court, they would grant a default judgement to the plaintiff, and they can toss you.

It was your responsibility to get to court. You waived your rights to trial when you failed to appear.
