I am new to this forum hoping I could gain some insight from everyone.
I am self rep and filed a Motion to Change Child Support only (and S7). My ex was to provide a response by last Wednesday and we have court this Thursday. I have asked him for financial disclosure for the last 3 years and he wouldn't provide it. He verbally told me a few weeks ago that he would be sending a response and going to court, but yesterday he told me that "court won't be happening next week" as he's going to call the courthouse and tell them he can't make it because his brother is dying. As i do have compassion for the situation, his brother has been ill for a year and this has also been his excuse for not seeing our son regularly (not at all in the last 7 months).
I'm not sure how to complete the 14C Confirmation. For #2 do i say i have not been able to contact the opposing party to confirm matters? Or do i check the box that says i contacted the opposing party and confirmed the matters are going forward? Is serving the initial papers to him deemed as contacting and confirming?
If he didn't file a response and also doesn't appear, what happens next? Or can he just show up and say he's not prepared and needs more time? He just doesn't want to deal with this, and for me, court this week is just going to be an entire waste of my day if he doesn't show up. Any advise would be very appreciated!!!! Thank you.
