Statutory minimum is six months from serving the petition for dissolution. Nothing will happen, however, if you don't file the necessary papers to request a judgement based on the default.

You are going to have to file a default judgment package, in addition to requesting his default. Check with the court and make sure the clerk actually entered your ex's default.
