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.
This brief hearing allows you and your soon-to-be ex to present divorce settlement terms and corresponding evidence for the judge's ultimate approval. However, the judge can still exercise discretion to make further changes as they deem appropriate.
Otherwise, you'll usually need to attend a default hearing, where a judge will review your proposed divorce judgment and may ask some questions or request that you submit more information before making an official ruling.
Generally speaking, in a default hearing, you will get everything that you asked for that is allowable under the law. When the other side chooses not to respond, the court has the discretion to award relief on every issue that you requested. Keep in mind that they cannot give you something that the law does not allow.

The default notice acts as a formal warning, allowing the homeowner the chance to address and rectify the situation. Upon receiving a notice of default, homeowners should immediately contact their lender, explore refinancing options, and consider seeking legal counsel.
This involves: Filing a Motion: Submit a formal motion to the court requesting that the default be overturned. Providing a Reason: Explain why you failed to respond and provide evidence supporting your claim. Demonstrating a Defense: Show that you have a valid defense to the plaintiff's claims.
