What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I received a "motion to transfer" from another state (Virginia) on Wednesday afternoon by email (the idea is to transfer issues of custody and visitation to this state). The hearing is on next Friday. (Rules say I have to have 7 days notice). I have a few questions:
1. The ex had 30 days after the divorce decree to transfer retirement assets and we're now on day 40; we've been preparing a contempt order, but I have no time to get it to this hearing. Could I ask for a continuance?
2. Since it's a holiday and I've been out of town and haven't signed for any mail, can I claim I didn't get 7 days notice? Isn't it a little bit unscrupulous to serve me an hour before everyone leaves for the holiday weekend? (4PM by email on Wednesday).
3. How do I find a lawyer in another state on a holiday weekend? Any divorce lawyers in Fairfax ... contact me asap!
