Default will be entered but it is not automatic.  You will either have to ask the court to enter default on the day of the next hearing, or you can  file something with the court before the January 25 deadline and indicate that the informaiton that was supposed to be provided was not and ask for default to be entered.  Serve a copy of this on your husband by certified mail, return receipt requested.
