Asking for a Continuance?

Filed Under:
Daily Answer Desk with Jim Gross, Esq.

Question of the Day:

I have a custody/support hearing coming up in a week, and l don't have legal representation, will the case be adjourned? Or will the courts appoint a lawyer? If so will it still be adjourned? – RO

Answer:

RO: The court will not appoint a lawyer in a family law case. The hearing will not be continued automatically. You have to ask for it and then it is up to the judge. I wouldn’t take the chance.
