FAQ
A default prove up hearing is when a divorce can still move forward despite the respondent's refusal to participate. The petitioner must demonstrate they made good faith efforts to inform the other party of the hearing and court permission in order for the judgment to be granted by default.
A "Default Judgment" is similar to a Judge's order in that it can be used to place a lien on your property, garnish your wages and/or affect your credit. The city usually requests that the maximum fine be imposed in default matters.
If you file a motion to undo ("vacate") the default judgment within 30 days, you will probably succeed. If it has been more than 30 days, it is much harder to undo the judgment.

In a divorce context, a "prove up" is a court hearing, usually brief, where you (and sometimes your spouse) appear before a judge to confirm the terms of your divorce agreement. It's the final step in an uncontested divorce.
In this process, a judge (rather than a clerk) determines how much the plaintiff can collect after reviewing the amount requested by the plaintiff, which may require a court hearing. Once the default prove-up process is finished and a ruling by the judge is provided, the case is complete.
A default prove up hearing occurs when the defendant has failed to respond to the plaintiff's complaint within the specified time frame. As a result, the defendant is considered to be in default, and the hearing is held to determine the appropriate judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
At the prove-up hearing, you will be put under oath and the judge will ask you questions regarding your Petition for Dissolution, and what you are asking of the court.
