Court date postponed


What is the name of your state?Missouri

My brother went to court had everything settled, had to wait 30 days and all was final. well she got a lawyer and on the 25th day decided to fight it. They went to court today. She is claiming he mislead her and blah blah blah, she thought the divorce was off and so on. He never said he was not filing, she assumed he couldn't cause she quite her job.

Now she never showed up to any of the court hearings. My brother was told he could have 100% of the assets cause of it and visitiation was at his convience. Judge also said like $350 a month in child support. (they have three kids together.) My brother said no he didn't want it to be like that he wanted it all 50/50, except kids, he wanted full on them. He didn't want cs cause he makes way more than her. Judge said he had to order cs. Brother said fine something like 60 a month cause she is in school and works min wage jobs. Judge ordered.

Today she shows up, her lawyer filed all the wrong papers so they continue it. BUT her ENTIRE family is there. They live by them, we live a good 4 hours away.

So my question is, should we all show up on the 29? or send an notarized letter of what we know or just stay out? Her family is trailer trash. They live off the government. The only reason she is fighting this divorce now is because she found out she will not be eligible for a lot of my brothers benefits (ex military current govt employee).

(and not that it matters but they are getting a divorce because she has had NUMEROUS affairs. so much so that there is a question on paternity of the one son who is 12. he stuck around through the first two, but finally had enough, tried counseling with her she refused to go.)
