If you are scheduled for a court appearance.. you have to be there!! talk to your attorney again and ask him if it's an actual court? or just filling the preliminary paperwork in court.

Depends on how much the ticket is.  Seems like you have a good case, weather or not you can tell your side to the judge. Sometimes, you talk to a person before the court and they make recommendations.  If you want to fight, write your facts down before hand and go for it. Otherwise, if it's not too much $$, write it and the experience off. Sorry, to hear your situation, doesn't sound fair from your side.  Best of luck

A judge can do anything calendar wise with proper notice and the following of the Rules of Court.  This all depends on your jurisdiction. I'd suggest you attempt to reschedule through the court's Clerk. If a judgment was entered despite the cancellation of a mediation or hearing, it MAY be the basis for an appeal, but once again it depends on the jurisdiction.

I don't think it would be wrong to exaggerate on this one in order to keep him away.  Have her file a restraining order on him. Just say he hit her or that he threaten to kill her with a gun or knife. My ex-husband was so controlling that after I left him he followed me around.  Even after I changed my phone # he found out what it was some how.  He really did try to stab me, but when I filled my restraining order I added a little extra just to make him pay. Who do you think the judge will believe? Him or her.  All she has to say is she's extremely terrified of him and what he will do to her. The restraining order will cost you about 20 or 30 dollars, but it's a small price to pay to keep a psycho away LEGALLY.

Depends on the state law, he will have to go in front of a judge for it to happen though. The judge will want to make sure he knows what he is signing away, and that he is of sane mind

If you know that the summons is really for you, don't ignore it. Only the court gets away with playing with technicalities.\n\nHowever, be sure to correct the spelling so that you get credit for showing up and following whatever orders they give to you.

File for a TPO (Temporary Protection Order) at your local county or city courthouse. If he comes within the specified distance from you, have his freakish butt arrested.

The court has to make you pay.  Don't listen to someone who is leaving you.  Get a lawyer.

Is this for the criminal case? If so, you should request a judge that you want to represent yourself. The judge will make sure you understand the consequences of such representation. If the judge permits, you can represent yourself.

I doubt that incident will make a judge decide to give you custody.\nIt helps your case that he didn't see her. I doubt he'll even go to jail, but I don't have the details I need to make that decision. You are right not to expect too much. The DA will make a decision as to whether this matter will be brought to court. It sounds like you kept your part of the order when you sent your daughter to visit him. Did you know that your son would not be allowed? Did you send your son knowing that your x would not allow that? I am not trying to be dispectful, but am trying to point out possiblies. If you can afford it, hire an attorney to help  you with the matter.

I agree, find a lawyer.  But a lawyer is going to cost money.  Find someone that will take payments or pro bono that way you can tell the Judge you have 4,000 dollars saved up and are prepared to turn it over immediately.  They might be able to drop the charges.

you HAVE to answer to the papers that were served to you.  if you do not, all odds are against you, because it will appear to the judge that you simply do not care.  this requires filing a response with the county clerk, which usually costs a fee - call and find out how much in your county.  if you have kids and are interested in keeping them, you should really use an attorney - the courthouse sometimes has referrals that will go on a sliding scale based on how much you earn, or maybe they will have a payment plan since you are unemployed.  \n\nat this point, assume everything is not in your favor.  everything depends on your particular situation.  was he abusive?  were you?  who has been the primary caretaker of the children, etc.?  judges are mean - they will laugh in your face sometimes if you appear pro se, but i think it's worth it, especially if you win.  also, is there material involved, i.e., houses, cars, etc.?  who wants what?  i would attempt to talk to him if possible and find out what he really wants, i.e., kids - joint custody, or weekends only; house, etc.?

As is so often the case the devil is in the detail and what we need to know is 'why do you want to get out of it?' I suspect you have given a witness statement to the authorities, normally the police, and because they suspect or already know that you are reluctant to attend the hearing willingly they have been granted a witness summons to ensure your attendance. This often happens in situations where the witness is a source of evidence against a person they know well or are frightened of eg a battered wife v her abusive husband, etc. If a person ignores a witness summons the judge can issue a warrant for the non attending witnesses arrest, so it goes from bad to worse.If I'm any where near the real reason I suggest you speak to the investigating officers. Tell them frankly of your concerns. Perhaps a family or witness liaison officer will be available with various options, including a friend or officer  to attend with you for moral support. being kept in a separate room until called in to give evidence thereby avoiding waiting contact with the defendant, visits before hand to the court to be shown the layout and procedures etc etc. An unwilling witness can still be asked questions by the prosecution side and be treated as an 'hostile witness' which in effect includes getting you to acknowledge the truth of your earlier statement or risk perjury or contempt if for whatever reason you turn against what you initially said. Please seek help from the prosecution team.

Your state will have ethical canons or disciplinary rules to deal with this. \n\nUnless you gave him settlement authority, he can't settle on your behalf -- so read your enagement letter again and know what it says. If everything is as you say it is, he has run afoul of his duties as your counsel and fiduciary.\n\nStart with your local bar assocation, which should be able to give you a referral to (i) an attorney who can look into your situation and (ii) the proper state bar agency or committee to which you can report this misconduct (and, possibly, take this guy's ticket).\n\nGood luck.
