Marriage of Silveira CA5
Appellant Luciano M. Silveira (husband) appeals a default judgment of marital dissolution (Judgment) terminating his marriage to Shelly J. Silveira (wife) and ordering a division of marital assets. Husband contends he was denied due process when the trial court dismissed his petition for dissolution of marriage (Petition), allowed his wife’s response to the Petition (Response) to become the petition, and entered his default in the litigation. Husband further contends the court erred in denying his motions to set aside the default and a related motion for reconsideration. We reverse the Judgment and reinstate husband’s Petition.
