Assuming that you served him the papers and have a proof of service, the court can make the orders you request.

The court may go ahead and make an order, or the court may reset the date and give him a chance to show up.

Essentially it depends on the procedural posture of the case and the Judge. If there have been repeated instances the Judge is much more likely to impose monetary sanctions, but at the very least he can allow the hearing to proceed without him/her, depending on the seriousness of the issues and whether there have been prior instances.

You go forward without him. If your papers were properly served, the court will consider what you are asking for and, because there is no objection, probably grant your request.

If your spouse does not show up for the Court date, the Judge will handle the situation.
