FAQ
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.
You must make a Motion in City Court to vacate the Default Judgment. To make such a Motion, an Affidavit Under Oath must be prepared that states the reason why you failed to appear in Court on the scheduled date and clearly sets forth your defense to the claim.
At the hearing, the judge will decide to grant or deny the motion. If the judge grants your motion, the default or a default judgment will be set aside, and the case will move forward.

To vacate a default judgment in New York, the defendant must make an application to the court that rendered the judgment. In Nassau and Suffolk counties, this will most likely be either the District Court or the Supreme Court.
To vacate a default, your motion papers must show a good reason or excuse for your default and that your claims or defenses have legal merit. Whenever a motion is to be brought, the person filing the motion is called the moving party or the movant.
In order to respond to a motion or an order to show cause, you must prepare answering papers. If you disagree with what is being asked for in the motion or order to show cause, you must prepare an affidavit in opposition (see Exhibit A).
The person who asks for the appeal is called the appellant and the person who is on the other side of the appeal is called the respondent. Except for a default judgment, only an order or Judgment made by a Judge can be appealed.
