Marriage of Skeie CA3
Julie Skeie (Wife, to follow the style of the briefing) initiated this dissolution action on January 16, 2015, after moving to California from Tennessee with her two youngest minor children after separating from Peter Skeie (Husband) in November 2013; her oldest son (born June 1997) joined her in June 2014, while a younger son (born Jan. 1999) remained with Husband in Tennessee. She effected personal service of the summons on Husband, who was present in California, shortly after filing the petition. Husband did not timely file a responsive pleading. Wife requested entry of default on June 3, 2015; the court entered a default judgment shortly afterward—on June 18, 2015. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 580.) On July 24, 2015, Husband moved to set aside the default judgment, neglecting to make a request to set aside the underlying default as well.
