Generally speaking, in a default hearing, you will get everything that you asked for that is allowable under the law. When the other side chooses not to respond, the court has the discretion to award relief on every issue that you requested. Keep in mind that they cannot give you something that the law does not allow.
A default doesnt mean your divorce happens right away. It takes at least 6 months from when you first got the Petition for a divorce to finish. Your spouse will need to complete more steps and a judge will need to sign the final papers (the Judgment).
As you can imagine, filing an at-fault divorce can be expensive while you litigate the basis of the divorce before moving on to issues such as custody, visitation, child support, and property division. You can spend a lot of time and money litigating the issue of fault.
While default divorces can be beneficial, they also have potential drawbacks: Lack of Input: The respondent has no opportunity to present their side or contest the terms. Unfair Terms: If the petitioner requests terms that heavily favor them, the respondent could be at a significant disadvantage.
