What does it mean when a divorce goes into default?
A default divorce is one in which the courts pass judgment on the divorce after the respondent fails to respond. In other words, if a spouse ignores notices regarding a desired divorce, that spouse could find him/herself divorced anyway.
What does it mean when a divorce case is closed?
That means that the case was dismissed. If that is the case, and if you still want a divorce, then you can either file a new case or file a motion to reinstate the case.
What is a status hearing in a divorce?
A status conference allows the parties to update the court on what has occurred following the filing or the parties' last appearance in court. If the court decides on an alternative dispute resolution, it will set dates for the parties to adhere to. A discovery plan can also be founded at a status conference.
