Q: I need to reschedule my court date Im the petitioner
A: David's Answer: Last minute adjournments are problematic - generally it should be for a bona fide emergency. Send a fax to the Magistrate, copy it to the other side & document the emergency. Your risk is that the Court finds it not to be an emergency & proceeds in your absence. Speak to a Family Law attorney in your area for more info. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
