My ex sent me a message yesterday making me aware of an apparent court hearing next week. I haven't been served any papers. I've been trying to call the courts, but nobody is picking up, and an Email will likely not get a response on time. Any ideas?
Thats odd. Could she send you screenshots of the paper work?
An email to the court is your best way to contact them. They don't seem to pick up the phone but usually do respond to emails
Thanks for the responses. I've got the papers now, 1 day ahead of the hearing. Still no position statement. I'll ask the court to adjourn, let's see.
@londondad22 Hi. is it remote hearing, or in person? there is still time. can do a short position statement, 2 pages. good template you can use here: https://childlawadvice.org.uk/information-pages/writing-a-position-statement/
if they adjourn hearing, you could possibly wait a further 3-4 months.
Thanks bill, I'm drafting a position statement now but have asked for an adjournment anyway given the lack of notice and new arrival any time now (with a different mother, rest assured).
