I recently filed papers with the courts (today actually) to try and get an interim custody order for my granddaughter. The motion i filed was a 14B with an affidavit attached as well as notes that I had made which I listed as Schedule "A". The motion included me asking to have service dispensed on the respondent parents as I don't know where they are and I am unable to get in touch with them. I documented what I have done to try and find them (to no avail) and they were accepted at the docket filing desk and I was told that I don't get to see a judge but instead the judge reviews the court papers in chambers and they will mail the result to me in a few days. The part that I am confused about is that my lawyer (legal aid unfortunately) has not heard of an ex parte hearing being done in chambers. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Will this work to be in my benefit or by not hearing me or seeing me could it work against me? Any info about this would be appreciated.
