Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I was granted a year long order of protection against my spouse. The same day it was granted the legal aid told me to file a motion for prove up and gave me a court date. (I filed the OP and divorce papers the same day and my spouse was served both). What happens during the prove up?
