I've filed for divorce (dissoultion of marriage), The sheriff was unable to serve the other party because he no longer lived at the address. I filed a motion for publication and have since received my certificate of publication. The judge says that I need to amend my petition and set my case for prove up? I have a status call hearing coming up, what do I need to do next?

In my State - NY - this simply means that the case is ready for trial/hearing, will be a default (the other party won't appear), if you present adequate proof you will prevail.

Thank for the immediate response. So, I do I need to do anything prior to the court date? The judge didn't enter the certificate of publication yet? Should I set the case for prove up prior to going to court? Thanks.
