A default prove up is essentially a short court hearing where the individual seeking the divorce presents evidence to the judge. This is necessary because, in a default situation, the judgment is submitted without the agreement or participation of the other spouse.
Usually, the plaintiff files a motion for default judgment if the defendant doesn't respond or fails to attend a hearing. The plaintiff has to provide an affidavit of the material facts, proof the defendant was served, and proof of damages.
A default judgment occurs when the defendant in a legal case fails to respond to a court summons or does not appear in court. If this occurs, a court may rule in favor of the plaintiff by default.
Prove-up hearings are typically required in cases where one party has defaulted by not responding to or otherwise making an appearance in a case. In a divorce, if a party has not filed a response by the end of the 60-day waiting period, a party can enter a Default Final Decree of Divorce.
From the Court: The party requesting the default should file a motion for default judgment and a proposed default judgment. Internal Procedures: All documents are forwarded to the docket clerk for processing within 24 hours. The motion for default judgment and proposed default judgment are entered on the docket.
You must file a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment and Notice of Hearing within 30 days of the date the default judgment was signed by the judge. See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 329(b). In Justice Court, the deadline is 14 days. See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 505.3.
If you're sued, you can choose to do nothing. This means that you do not file any response by the deadline. The Plaintiff then can ask the judge to decide the case without your input. This is called a default or a default judgment.
