I'm assuming what you're talking about is a "PD" or a preliminary default. Once the defendant's delays for filing an answer or other responsive pleadings have passed, you have to file a preliminary default before confirming the default and taking a judgment.

Hire a divorce attorney who can have a curator appointed to represent your husband.

It goes until youngest child is 18, or graduates from high school, whichever comes last, but not later than 19th birthday. Then it should end if you are paying by check or money order to the state or other parent. If it is by garnishment, you will need a child support lawyer.
We have a 6 year old son and the home was purchased inside of the marriage.

Protective Order on you did not prohibit her from selling your property. But a TRO against alienation against her in divorce would have. Call your divorce lawyer to file contempt.

You have six more months to finalize the divorce, but ONLY if you did get the petition served within 90 days or if the other person signed a waiver of service.
Would we have to file something new in court in order to resume our community property? The facts are, we remained married, live together off and on, are not seeking a judgment of divorce, & it’s been over 18 months since the original petition for divorce was filed.
