A default doesn't mean your divorce happens right away. It takes at least 6 months from when you first got the Petition for a divorce to finish. Your spouse will need to complete more steps and a judge will need to sign the final papers (the Judgment).
A default judgment may be had, if the defendant fails to file an answer or otherwise respond to the complaint within the time allowed by law after proper service has been made. The plaintiff may request the entry of default and a default judgment.
If the court has your address, the clerk mails you a Notice of Entry of Default. If they sent this, you must file and serve the request to set aside within 180 days from the date you were served that notice.
A Default Prove Up is a court hearing where the judge reviews the details of your case. The court needs to ensure that proper procedures were followed during the divorce process, especially since the other party did not participate. This hearing is crucial because it validates that the default was properly handled.
