If it's truly uncontested then it may not matter whether you appear in court. You may have signed a waiver allowing her to set hearings in the case, even a final hearing, without notice to you. If that's the case then there's probably nothing wrong with what she did. Without an appropriate waiver then she must give you at least three days notice for most hearings (and 45 days notice for final hearings).
