Chances are now that the divorce proceedings will take place and the plaintiff may win by default as the defendant did not respond to contest or counter sue within the specified time limits.

The court will then set a hearing date to occur within a certain time frame - both parties will be told when and where to appear. The rest of the case is heard before a judge in a court of law.
