Hello all. First post here though I have been following these boards for quite awhile now.
My situation is yet another high-conflict one, has been for almost 10 years. Ex has been uncooperative and combative, and I've had to go back to court a couple of times. Both times I was the applicant, both times I was successful and ex had to pay most of the costs. It's been awhile (not smooth sailing at all, but was just trying to avoid paying lawyers, delaying the inevitable).
I recently had to file a motion to change (related to child support and s7 expenses) which stated ex had 30 days to respond. We are long past the 30 days, but no response. My understanding is that the first appearance coming up is to set a date for a case conference.
Because I haven't had to deal with the courts in awhile, what's the typical wait time to the actual conference? Also, if the respondent hasn't replied to my initial motion, can they bring up issues not related to the motion I filed at the actual case conference. Ex is making a lot of noise about this but I haven't seen anything filed as of yet.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
