As soon as the respondent's time limit for response has ended, you can file the default.

The default is to default someone for not responding to a summons and petition. If they responded, you may need to set a trial date.

Since it has been so long you can file all the documents for default judgment at the same time. You will want to prepare everything in the right order and file with the court so the judgment may be entered.
