A friend of mine asked:
"I have previously had my ex's motion to changed dismissed due to his delay, lack of correct documents, etc. I am self representing, he has, or had a lawyer, I do not know if he still does. I have now filed a new Motion to Change, served on him January 4th. The first court hearing is this Thursday, February 17th. I have not had any response from the defendant. I did call the court house today and they confirmed as well that nothing has been filed. He has had well over 30 days to file a response, but nothing. The court has advised me he can still show on Thursday with his material? Can he do this and what is my best move here?"
I say go to court and make your appearance known. Yes he can walk in the materials. That 30 day deadline means jack in family law. Your best move is to push the matter forward at court, with or without him.
