What is Request of entry of default?
When a person (the plaintiff) sues someone (the defendant), the defendant gets a certain amount of time to respond to the lawsuit (times vary by state). If the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit within the time period prescribed or does not show up to court on the day he or she is supposed to, the plaintiff will ask for (and the court will usually give) a default judgment. Simply put, the plaintiff wins because the defendant did not make an effort to defend themselves. A request for entry of default is when the time has passed for the defendant to respond to a lawsuit and the plaintiff is asking for a default judgment. This only applies to civil cases, not criminal cases.
What does it mean when my divorce status says red- request for default filed?

The Entry of Default must be filed before a Default Judgment can be issued whereby the plaintiff will prevail in the lawsuit.If your case is not ready for a default hearing, you will receive a red notice with instructions on what to do next in your case to get a default hearing set, or if you cannot go by default.

What is the defendants recourse if the defendant receives a request for entry of default but does not have an appearance date?
Usually, you can contact the court and request that the court set an appearance date be set. The plaintiff's notice of the request for entry of the default might not have an appearance date, but it will state that you have a certain number of days to either file a written opposition with reasons, to the entry of a default or the right to request an appearance date to be fixed by the court. Some courts, specifically small claims courts, allow such abbreviated methods of entering defaults, but there are built in safeguards against an improper entry of a default. Many times a court permits this request without an appearance date because after all the defendant did not even bother to answer the summons and complaint, therefore, it is not unreasonable to at least request entry of a default without an appearance date as long as the defendant is told of the request and given an opportunity to object.I did respond to the original summons and complaint with proof of service, acknowledged by the court, and now I have this Request for Entry of Default, no court date or anything about my response and defense to this bank's claims.

What does motion and request for default mean?
A plaintiff starts a lawsuit by filing a complaint and serving the complaint and summons on the defendant (or defendants). If the defendant does not answer the complaint or otherwise respond to the suit, the plaintiff make request a "default judgment." This means, more or less, "the defendant has not responded and the court should therefore grant what I sought in the complaint." Usually, a default judgment will be restricted to the relief sought in the complaint and will be restricted to amounts that are reasonably calculable. For example, say somebody hit you with their car, and you sued for $100,000 in medical bill. If the defendant ignores the lawsuit, the plaintiff will request a default judgment, and the court will likely grant them a $100,000 judgment. The plaintiff will then take the judgment to (most often) the county sheriff's department, which will then seize a defendants property to be sold to pay the judgment; or plaintiff can seek other remedies, like garnishment of wages. Lesson: don't ignore lawsuits. That's how you lose for sure.
