my ex-wife, through trickery, has managed to get a default judgement against me. They gave her everything she asked for, shild custody, spousal support, the whole nine yards. We're in CA. What can I do to contest this judgement?

As a California lawyer but many states allow you to set aside a default obtained by trickery even if the default was obtained years ago. However, you need to take action once you learn that she has the default. You can't sit around and wait.
If it's less than 30 days since she got the default, in most states it's EASY to set aside. You just have to make a motion to set aside the default and get it set for hearing ASAP.
If it's been more than 30 days but less than a year, there's usually a rule that lets you set aside the order for good cause and if it's more than a year then most states require that you prove the trickery.

i'm sorry- did you're saying you're thinking marrying someone you went out with some situations? you've purely commonplace him a touch more effective than a month. Its' too quickly to be thinking marriage, a lot less to someone who's divorced. Date him for added or less a three hundred and sixty 5 days, or a minimum of 6 months- then you genuinely can take into consideration in case you may be able to spend something else of your existence with him. in the present day, you slightly comprehend the guy. And if he si even thinking talking to you about marriage this quickly, he maximum likely can make an same mistake two times! Divorcees can flow on to more than chuffed marriages, yet on condition that they realized from the mistakes the first time round. in the present day, you want to get to carry close him, and that takes TIME!

Hello? A default judgement is given if your didn't contest it.
That's what you get for ignoring lawyer phone calls and requests for you to show up in court.
If you didn't show up after you have been notified by the state guidelines (certified letter, etc.) then another court date is set.
By not showing up to court the second time, a default divorce is granted. Not apperaing means that you are NOT contesting! So normally the plaintiff gets what the judge considers fair.
Sorry buddy, ignoring court apperances and bills are not going to make them go away.
Good luck

Make three assumptions for the rest of your life:
1- women are liars
2- the divorce courts are biased against men
3- you live in The Feminist Republic of America

You'll probably be cited for contempt of court for asking, being of the male race.
The Constitution has been replaced by Feminist Jurisprudence, and men no longer have many rights.
Nevertheless, follow the other people's advice. There's always a chance the judge could get embarrassed and become fair.

She either had a very good lawyer or if you cheated on her then she does deserve everything.
