Your question is procedurally confusing. One does not vacate a hearing; one can cancel a hearing. One can move to vacate a default judgment, but not if the judgment is against someone else. I cannot tell from your question whether a default judgment was entered, or against whom, or what the next court hearing is about.
The best I can surmise here is that someone has moved for a default judgment against you, and you did default, but now you want to defend the case. If this has something to do with family law, then I am completely lost.
You should ask a better question to get a better answer. And, I do not recommend you proceed pro se in any event.
Need to ask a better question. Too confusing. You vacate a judgment is you have been awarded a judgment. You can voluntarily dismiss an action if you brought the action.
