I see.

Then a hearing should be set and the defendant will have the opportunity to defend against the allegations being made by the plaintiff/petitioner. Since the plaintiff typically has the burden of proof, if there is no evidence to corroborate the plaintiff's allegations, such as physical evidence or a police report, then the case is likely to be dismissed.

However, if the court finds the defendant's statements not credible or catches the defendant in a lie, the court could find in the plaintiff's favor even without any corroborating evidence.
