Agreed. In my experience, and under the relevant law, the courts will generally not touch a case if the Defendant is unable to be present and/or respond due to the fact that he is away serving in the military. Whenever I seek an Order of Default from the court, my client has to sign an Affidavit stating that the other party is not serving in the military. If the court does not receive such an Affidavit, nothing can happen with the case.
