FAQ

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.

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 have a valid reason, you can petition the judge to set aside default judgment by filing a motion to vacate which, if successful, would allow you to return to court and to contest your debt.

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.

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.

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.

If a Default Judgment Is Entered, Act Fast If a default judgment has been entered against you, you must act quickly to open the judgment, generally within ten (10) days of its entry, or establish a defect on the face of the record to warrant a Court striking the judgment.
