Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My daughter and her husband have been separated since April 2009. No children, no property. She filed for dissolution/divorce in VA in May 2010 stating they had been separated for over a year and that no property settlement form was needed. Her husband was served with his response form and he signed it, had it notarized and sent it back to the court. He recently called the court and they verified they had received his response but that my daughter has not pursued it and therefore nothing more has happened. She was expecting a notice that a hearing had been scheduled. She has not even received a notice that the court received her husband's signed form. What should be her next step?

Draft her Final Decree for filing with the court and contact the clerk's office to request that an "Ore Tenus" hearing be scheduled in the matter.
