Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

I'm in a non-divorce custody satiation where I've filed my complaint, his 21 days to respond passed so a week after that I filed for and was granted a default hearing. 2.5 weeks after that he filed his answer pro se without a request for an extension and without a request to dismiss the default, I also haven't been serves anything and my prove up court hearing hasn't changed. Since he missed some steps will his answer be disregarded or will it still be taken into consideration? (I'm in Nevada)
