Motion for CS, S7’s and arrears is scheduled for Monday.
The Respondent never responded to my motion material, formally or informally. I emailed my offer to settle and the confirmation as well, and haven’t heard a single thing.
If he just doesn’t show on Monday I have a pretty good idea of how things go. But given his track record of showing up for conferences/our first appearance without filing any material/responses, I’m guessing this is the road we’re heading down next week as well.
How does this type of behaviour/lack of preparedness compare between conferences and motions? In the past it seems the judge hands out adjournments like candy, and is not interested in costs orders because I am self representing. Is this the case in motions, or do judges come down a little harder on unprepared litigants? Should I expect an adjournment or will the judge still consider my issues and possibly make an order?
