Also, if you're interested in the statutes and cases I mentioned, feel free to check out O.C.G.A. 9-11-12 which deals with answering lawsuits.

In addition, O.C.G.A. 9-11-4(h) deals with the filing of the affidavit of service (sometimes called the "return of service"). Key language: “If the proof of service is not filed within five business days, the time for the party served to answer the process shall not begin to run until such proof of service is filed…”. For cases on the matter, you may refer to Mughni v. Beyond Management Group, Inc., 349 Ga. App. 398 (2019) and Summers v. Wasdin, 337 Ga. App. 671 (2016).

What happens when a Plaintiff files a lawsuit and the Defendant answers the summons but doesn't hear anything else from the Plaintiff or tge court for more than 2 months?
