Question posted in the General Law category relating to KwaZulu-Natal

I have recieved an application for judgement by default in terms of rule 31(5) read together with rule46(1) which will take place on 31 March 2015. My husband was paying our bond and i was not aware that he had not payed for almost 10 months, i am married in comunity of property and the house is on both our names, Standard bank had not informed me of this arrears and now i have recieved this application for judgement. i have contacted the lawer representing Standard bank and so far have paid R9360.00 of the R36000.00 owing to them. I am also going to pay a further R13640.00 on the 26 march 2015 and can only afford to pay the balance of 16000.00(half) in payments of R3200.00 per month for the balance owing. Do i need to contact a lawyer and go to court? is ther anything that i can do to stop legal action? What would happen once this application is made in court?
