well..this is my problem.......we have a upcoming court date on the 20th of this month..and...i was served with the papers to go to court on that date ..i was'nt givin enough time to get a lawyer..and i can't afford to get one....and i was'nt givin enough time to get a court appointed lawyer ...in time for this date..can i ask for a countuiance concerning this matter..(this is the why)i went to a agreed visit...on a agreed date..we had a good visit..while visiting..the house was a garbage dump..roaches everywhere..a major mess...past visits the house was a mess also,the girls are abused,one of my girls had to miss a few days from school because her mom hit her so hard it left a mark on her face..and they are 2 to 3 years behind in school..and the school made the girls stay home because of lice...more than once...human services was called many times on them..when i asked she would avoid the Question..anyway the conditions where bad....the next day after i filed for shared custody...i went to human services..after i filed shared parenting papers..and asked them if they could help..to investigate the home..they told me that they where to busy to do anything right now...(note) there was no..court ordered.custody to either parent..so when human services said they did'nt know when they could go out to the home...i felt it was my responsability as there father to remove them from the situation...so i did..and i have them ever since that time..again can i ask for a countueance...concerned father
