In Virginia, default is filed automatically if the defendant fails to respond in any way within 21 days of service of process being effected. A defendant that defaults thereby waives further notice of proceedings (unless the defendant has an attorney of record), and waives the right to a jury trial in any further proceedings.
Generally, a creditor who has obtained a monetary judgment (a ruling from a court under which another party is required to pay money to the creditor) may enforce this judgment through the seizure and forced sale of the debtor's property, through the seizure of money held in the debtor's bank accounts, and through garnishment of the debtor's wages.
The default judgment is the relief requested in the party's original petition. [1] Default can be compared to a forfeit victory in sports. In a civil trial involving damages, a default judgment will enter the amount of damages pleaded in the original complaint. If proof of damages is required, the court may schedule another hearing on that issue.
