After a Final Judgment has been filed, how much time do I have to file a motion objecting to the final judgment and is that the only way a foreclosure can be stopped?
According to the language provided in the Notice of Motion for Final Judgment, a defendant has 10 days to file an objection to the Affidavit of Amount Due attached to the Notice of Motion for Final Judgment. The Notice of Motion for Final Judgment provides direction on where to send the objection. If an objection is received, it will be reviewed by the Office of Foreclosure to determine whether a valid objection to the amount due, which is attached to the Notice of Motion for Final Judgment, has been raised. Filing an objection does not stop the foreclosure. If an objection to the amount due is valid, the case will be transferred to the vicinage judge, who will make a final determination on the matter. After the vicinage judge makes a decision on the objection, the case will be transferred back to the Office of Foreclosure to process the Final Judgment request. Once a Final Judgment has been entered, the only way a defendant can object to it is by motion to the General Equity judge. A
