• Responding to a Kentucky complaint: 20 days, and no clerk's default judgmentKentucky CR 12.01 gives 20 days after service of the summons to serve an answer, and 10 days after entry of an order denying a pre-answer motion — and every default judgment goes to a judge.
• Vacating a Kentucky judgment: six grounds, three of which expire in a yearKentucky CR 60.02 lists six grounds for relief from a final judgment — mistake, newly discovered evidence and perjury are capped at one year, and filing does not suspend the judgment.
• Kentucky's ten days: the motion to alter, amend or vacate a judgmentKentucky CR 59.05 gives just 10 days from entry of judgment to serve a motion to alter, amend or vacate — one of the shortest post-judgment windows in the country.
