What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
My other thread was closed so asking here.
My hearing on Wednesday was continued until tomorrow (Monday) at 8:30 AM. When they continued it my lawyer told the clerk that he would be arriving by 11 because he had a cardiologist appointment at the hospital across the street. The clerk was fine with that but my son's father seemed to take issue.
Could the courts force me to proceed without my lawyer? Or if he states he will be there before the lunch session begins, can / will / should they wait?
Usually they list over 25 cases for the morning session alone. It's quite ususal to arrive at 8:30 and then not get called in until after 12.
