The Motion to set aside the default judgment is your husband asking the court to reverse its judgment so that you no longer win automatically. He is saying that there is a good reason he didn't respond, and so he shouldn't lose automatically. If he wins the motion, then you will have to go to court at a later time and convince the judge that your husband should be found in contempt of court. You will not win automatically, but will have to convince the judge that you should win, as if your husband had responded on time.
Additional details: Have you been served with court documents, or did his lawyer just send you a letter saying they were going to apply to have it set aside? If and when they serve you with court documents, the court documents should tell you what to do. If he files a notice, you may want to file a response. There will be a court hearing and you will need to go to the hearing and speak to the judge about why the default judgment should not be set aside. The court registry should be able to give you more information, too.What is a Motion to set aside Default Judgment?It means he lost by not showing up but his lawyer had that loss set aside and the issue will be heard by the judge again.
You wait for a new court date and show up.
