FAQ
DIVISION OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY A prove-up is when at least the Petitioner, and sometimes the Respondent, appears in front of a judge to finalize their divorce case. A prove-up is the final step in a divorce case and is mandatory in Illinois.
What is a Motion for Default Judgment? Imagine you've taken someone to court, but they've ignored all proceedings. A motion for default judgment allows you to ask the court to automatically decide in your favor due to the other party's lack of response or action.
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.
Can a default judgment affect my credit score or ability to obtain future financing? Yes, a default judgment may negatively affect your credit score, and will be a lien on all of your real estate. Buying and selling real estate will be negatively affected by the entry of a default judgment.
Depending on whether your pleading was verified, or not, this can be as quick as a few days in cases where the clerk can enter default, or as long as a few weeks in the event a hearing is necessary in order to secure a default judgment.
Orders of default judgment (aka judgment in default) are obtained in two different ways: by using an administrative process – a Request - judgment is entered by a court officer; or. by filing an application for Judgment in Default, with a Form N244 Application Notice.
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.
If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to “set aside” (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.
