What is the name of your state? California
My ex took my kid from me last year and lied, well not to go into details, but he got full legal custody. I had already planned to move to California 6 months prior, and he lives in Pennsylvania. Now he took me for support, and I was unemployed (stay at home mom), so he got a very slim amount. Now he has appealed, and since I live in a different state, I cannot attend in person. Domestics in PA told me I could appear by phone, and to mail all my documents into their office. I did all this, and now over a month later they are giving me the runaround saying they never got it (was mailed certified) and they say I cannot attend over the phone.
Do I have to appear? What happens when I don't (I cannot, obviously)
