Understanding Legal Phrases

[JUDYSIOBHAN]

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF A DIVORCE...I SUBMITTED THE PROPER FORMS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE AFTER MY EX WAS SERVED. I CHECKED THE COUNTY COURT RECORDS AND SAW THAT UNDER MY NAME AS PETITIONER READ THE WORDS (FEES PAID) AND UNDER MY EX, AS RESPONDANT, IT READ ( DEFAULT REQUESTED ) WITH A DATE NEXT TO IT. NOW I DID INQUIRE AS TO WHETHER THERE WOULD BE A DEFAULT IN THE DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS AS MY EX DID NOT SEEM TO ANSWER OR REBUT OR EVEN ADDRESS THE ISSUE AFTER BEING SERVED. PERHAPS THE MESSAGE JUST MEANS THAT I REQUESTED A DEFAULT BE GRANTED? BUT THEN AT THE TOP OF THE COURT RECORD ON MY DIVORCE IT HAS, UNDER "PENDING HEARINGS"..IT SAYS (CASE REVIEW CONFERENCE) AND THAT IS SET FOR OCTOBER. I AM JUST CONFUSED BY THE LEGAL TERMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN TO MY CASE. CAN YOU DECIPHER THAT FOR ME..I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE WITH MY EXPLANATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
