What will happen if she shows up to Custody Hearing without a lawyer?
So my DH has his Custody Hearing that was set back in January in just over 2 weeks. BM had an attorney but he quit in April and she has never hired another. She told the GAL a month ago she had one but she didnt know the name off the top of her head, but no lawyer has ever entered thier appearance. My fear is that she will show up to the Custody Hearing without a lawyer and ask for it to be continued....of course DH lawyer and the GAL will object. BM still hasnt even paid the GAL fees disregarding the court order. Anyone have any experience with this? I am worried the Judge will continue it and we will have to let SS go back to live with BM for him to attend school and be in the same boat as last school year. Not to mention we think she is still seeing her abusive ex....she showed up at the last restraining order hearing with him.....but we cant prove it.

Worried that it could be
Worried that it could be "stalking" if caught. We dont have any vehicles they would not recognize.
grrrrr......we have had 2
grrrrr......we have had 2 emergency custody hearings that he would not hear without evidence so they set it for trial. Go figure that she will show up without an attorney and we will probably be forced to reschedule and send ss back with her. GOD I HATE THE FAMILY COURT SYSTEM!!!!!!!
That was the safety plan that
That was the safety plan that she chose to stop following back at the end of may. She picked him up from camp and had him a week before DH got him back for his time. Since that time she showed up with EX at his restraining order hearing as well as threats being called to her fathers house against her and SS. DFS wont do anything unless we can prove she has SS around her ex. DH told GAL and BM that he was not bringing SS back to her as it was placing him in harms way because of her continuing to associate with her ex and threats made against her and SS. She never did show to pick him up and has called and scheduled visits which he has taken him to (so she cant claim withholding). She has visited with him 2 x since and neither time did she leave with SS (which legally she has every right to do)......just a big freaking mess! She still insists she is going to be in california over the date of the hearing !?
The GAL already requested
The GAL already requested this information by phone on June 6th. DM stated at that time she had one but did not know the name. So I think we can push she had ample oppurtunity and warning. GAL even told her that it would not be postponed.
