Q: Does Notice of Hearing need to state purpose of the hearing?
We are being harassed in civil lawsuit (ongoing for year now-Injunction prohibits us from harassing Petitioner, but allows Petitioner to relentlessly harass us-is there no end to this? Former rear neighbors' Pitbull broke into our pool cage former neighbors take us to court and their friend, the Judge enters 3 year stalking injunction against us. Further, I am hearing/speech impaired senior-I was denied ADA rights to accommodations-I heard nothing at the hearing that resulted in malicious entry of 3 year stalking injunction Is there no help for us-we are the victims please!
A:
Generally, a notice of hearing is supposed to state what is being heard, just the title of the motion; unless the court set it and it is a case management/status conference with no specific item being heard.
You need to reach out to the county for each hearing you need assistance at per the below.
for Citrus County:
