What happens if you and the defendant don't show up on a hearing for child support case at court?
You lose. If the defendant doesn't show up for their notified court hearing, a default judgment will be made against them. If the plaintiff doesn't show up, the case will be dismissed. In the case of a defendant, the plaintiff will then go about collecting the award through garnishment of wages and placing liens on property.
What is the consequence of plaintiff failure to appear in Virginia district court?
If the defendant fails to appear in a civil court lawsuit, the plaintiff can motion the court for what is known as a default judgement. In laymen terms, they win. If the defendant shows up but the plaintiff did not, they can motion to have the case dismissed with prejudice. This means that the person who sued them cannot bring the same matter back to the courts again.
When defendant answers a complaint without being served by plaintiff must the plaintiff still properly serve complaint?
Yes, the plaintiff must still properly serve the complaint on the defendant. The fact that the defendant answers the complaint without being served does not waive the requirement for proper service. Proper service is necessary to provide notice to the defendant and ensure that they have a fair opportunity to respond to the lawsuit.

What if you do not receive the summons for debt collections?
In civil suit for debt owed, the plaintiff only needs to demonstrate to the court that they have made a reasonable attempt to serve notice on the defendant debtor. If the debtor cannot be found the lawsuit will still go forward without the participation of the named defendant. However, in most U.S. states the defendant must be duly served according to the laws of the state in which he or she resides with a final judgment notice before a judgment writ can be executed. The service of said writ upon the debtor can be by a designated agent of the plaintiff and/or certified mail and/or courier (UPS, FedEx, etc.). The defendant is given a specific time to respond to the judgment order citing allowable personal and real property exemptions that are exempt from seizure, garnishment, levy, and so forth.
Can a judgment be filed against a person without going to court?
No, even if the plaintiff wins the case through arbitration they will still need to file a petition with the court of venue to receive a writ of judgment. On the other side, however, if the defendant fails to respond to a summons pertaining to a lawsuit or judgment he/she will lose by default and may not be able to claim any of their property exemptions.

Can someone show an example of a case where a motion for a summary judgment will be granted?
Summary judgment is granted when there is no dispute as to any of the material facts in the incident that caused the lawsuit so that, as a matter of law, one party or the other is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. In a suit on a credit card bill, if the defendant does not dispute that he is responsible for the full amount claimed by the credit card company, but just won't pay it, the plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment without having to go to trial because the defendant admits the debt. There is no genuine issue of material fact that has to be resolved by trial. Now if the defendant denies that he is responsible for all or part of the debt (for instance if the card had been stolen and charges were billed for purchases not made by the defendant but the credit card company does not believe him) there is an issue of material fact that has to be determined at a trial. The issue is did the defendant actually make the charges or not. Summary judgment cannot be granted as long as there is a genuine issue.

What is a motion for summary judgment in a foreclosure?

What happens if you are notified by the sheriff to pick papers up at court house and you haven't picked them up?
When the person has been notified of the impending civil legal action or a resonable attempt has been made by the plaintiff or court to do so the defendant is considered "served" regardless of whether he or she has taken actual possession of the summons/documents. That being so, the case in which the person is a party will go forward with or without his or her participation. Failure to appear generally results in an automatic "win" for the plaintiff and a judgment or whatever allowable action is called for will be enforced against the named defendant(s) property and/or assets.
