Case Conference Adjourned Procedure?

[stillsoyoung]

My son had a Case conference back in January. The judge ordered 3 random drug tests and a police check over the next 3 months.
We are scheduled to be back in family court April 8th.
Is this appearance still considered a Case Conference? Do the same forms, 17 and Confirmation, need to be served to the court house and the Applicant?
There is new evidence that the judge needs to see...please advise

Call the court to ask what the date is for, no one here will know.

Yes, you need to submit a confirmation (just to the court, not the other side) and briefs so the judge knows what the appearance is about (judges are handling dozens of cases simultaneously- they won’t remeber your details). You want to show compliance with current Orders.

Thank you Tilt for the response. I have tried calling the court on numerous occasions. I tried the family court line to no avail. I have left messages and nobody has ever called me back.
We live 2 and a half hours from the courthouse so not able to go during the day.
I have gone down to speak with the FLIC office in our home town and they said you have to find out what type of meeting you are having on April 8th.
So frustrating when you are trying to do the right and correct thing and there are major road blocks at every turn.
I think we are just going to treat this as a Case Conference and file like we did for the first one and hope that was the right thing to do.

You should have received some sort of paperwork that details what the next date is for, no?

If it is another case conference, which is most likely the case, you will need to file another brief. And confirmation of attendance to the court (and to the other party/their counsel too I thought?)

I always thought "random" drug testing was just that - random. Does a person not register with a lab and submit to testing when called, with little notice?

It doesn’t sound like the drug testing is the issue.... I’m assuming the random drug tests are complete as the OP states that they have new evidence the judge needs to see

The issue is that the OP has no clue if her son’s court date on April 8 is a case conference/settlement conference or whatever, and doesn’t know what they need to be filing. Either way they’re going to have to find out quickly as they only have until Tuesday at the maximum (if son is Respondent, tomorrow if he’s the Applicant ) to serve the other party with the brief and file this new evidence

Thank you all! I finally, after 3 weeks of voicemails to the courthouse have spoke with a woman there who tells me that my son cannot "file" anything as this is what she called a, "speak to", and not a case conference. (The original CC was 3 months ago). So I guess its an adjournment.
I told her about the evidence and email trails between my son any the applicants lawyer and that he has not completed the 3 drug tests and the emails will outline why.
But he needs to be able to show the judge he was trying to comply, but the Applicants lawyer made it impossible.
Apparently we still need to file a confirmation, but cannot file anything else for the judge to see.
The woman at the court house did however tell us to get a lawyer to find out' "how we can submit the information he has", which leads me to believe there really is a way!
I doubt the judge will appreciate my son handing her 20 emails and pages of phone logs and asking her to go over it.
Has anyone been through this "speak to" and can tell us how to proceed as time is getting very short!
