Can I call in to get a hearing rescheduled?

Question

I have a domestic hearing in the morning and I'm not prepared for it.

So can I call in and tell them I can't do it today, to have it rescheduled?

Answer 1

i would talk to your lawyer if you have one,otherwise you have to show or the court will hold you in contempt.

Answer 2

Your lawyer can do it for you, or if you do attend you can ask the judge for an adjournment to have the case rescheduled to another date. You can't call them up and cancel otherwise they will charge you court costs and could make a warrant for your arrest to appear in court or the case can go in favour of the plaintiff.
