I have a default judgement against me. The other party has taken to social media to name myself and My business engaging in comments with others to not do business with me, my business or my daughter. Is there any recourse?

Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry you're dealing with both a default judgment and public posts about you, your business, and your daughter. While I can't give a definitive legal opinion without reviewing the court file and the posts themselves, there are typically two separate tracks to evaluate in Colorado: (1) addressing the default judgment and (2) addressing the social media conduct. 1. Default judgment: possible ways to challenge or manage it

Depending on the court, timing, and why the default happened, your options may include:

• Filing a motion in the same court to set aside the default/judgment (for example, if there was improper service, an excusable mistake, or other legally recognized grounds).

• Negotiating with the judgment creditor (payment plan, settlement, stipulated set-aside, or other resolution).

The viability of any challenge often turns on details such as when the judgment was entered, whether you were properly served, and why no response was filed.

2. Social media posts: potential recourse

If the other party is posting statements that are false statements of fact (not just opinions) and those statements are harming you or your business, potential options may include:

• Sending a formal cease-and-desist / demand letter requesting removal, correction, and preservation of evidence.

• Reporting content to the platform(s) if it violates their policies (impersonation, harassment, doxxing, threats, etc. ).

• Evaluating civil claims (for example, defamation and related business torts) depending on what was said, whether it is provably false, and the damages.

• If the conduct rises to the level of harassment or threats, consider protective remedies and involve law enforcement where appropriate.

Because online content can be edited or deleted, it is important to preserve evidence now (screenshots showing the full post, username, date/time, URL, comments, and any messages), and to document business impacts (lost customers, canceled contracts, reviews, inquiries referencing the posts).

Next steps to evaluate quickly

Based on the information you provided, I recommend you speak with a litigation attorney. They’ll be able to give you advice when they have more information, such as:

• The court name, county, case number, and the date the default judgment was entered.

• Copies of any papers you received (summons/complaint, judgment, notices).

• A brief timeline of what happened and why no response was filed.

• Links and screenshots of the social media posts/comments (including anything referencing your daughter).

• Any evidence of financial or reputational harm (lost sales, customer messages, etc. ).
