You lose. If the defendant doesn't show up for their notified court hearing, a default judgment will be made against them. If the plaintiff doesn't show up, the case will be dismissed. In the case of a defendant, the plaintiff will then go about collecting the award through garnishment of wages and placing liens on property.

What can a divorce judge take from the defendant?
It depends on the laws of the jurisdiction and the facts of the case. Judges who preside over a divorce case can take and redistribute a defendant's interest in property, can take a portion of the defendant's income for child support, can take the defendant's right to visit with their children under certain circumstances and can also take the defendant's liberty if they refuse to pay child support. Child Support Enforcement can take such things as a tax refund, the right to drive a vehicle and can garnish wages.
