This will vary from state to state and bank to bank. Know, though, that you will have to get lots of notices... then you'll get notices of the lawsuit filed... notice of the court date, then a hearing. After judgment is granted, then there are more notices prior to the sheriff's sale.

You will be forced out prior to sheriff's sale. If you are nearing losing your home you should seek financial counselling and/or legal advice. If you just cannot afford your mortgage payments, you need to seriously look at another gameplan, as it is eventual that you will lose that home if you don't make the payments.
... sorry to be the bearer of not so pleasant news :o
Good luck to you Shawndria.
