Is this still a default divorce?

What is the name of your state? Idaho

I filed for divorce on June 9th of this year, and fully expected my husband to contest the divorce. He never filed an answer to the divorce within the 20 day limit, but he did file, through his attorney, the following: Notice of Appearance (on the 18th of June), Motion for Temporary Custody, Affidavit, and Notice of Hearing Re: Motion for Temporary Custody (all on the 23rd of June). The Temporary Custody motion was never heard because he had not taken the required Divorce Orientation course.

Nothing else has been file by either of us, so I am wondering if I can proceed with the divorce as a default divorce or if it is now considered a contested divorce.

when an attorney files a entry of appearence for his client, that is considered an answer to the summons. it is contested.

And of course, that is not true.
