See this:
Prove Up Law & Legal Definition (http://definitions.uslegal.com/p/prove-up/)

A prove-up is basically a hearing when the case is uncontested - such as if the party being sued didn't respond to the complaint and so a judgment has been entered against them. Its purpose is for the court to agree to the settlement - in this case I would assume the amount of damages to be awarded. You have an attorney, right? He should be able to answer your questions as to the process.
