Q: How can I contest a judgement regarding an emergency court order? Is there a form? Is it possible?
My ex is trying to sign up my children at a school that is beyond my transportation ability.
My divorce decree grants him the right to be the decisionmaker concerning their education.
However, I have filed a petition asking to reverse it since he stopped helping transport them and caused me to lose my job.
The hearing for that petition isn't until 9/23.
In the meantime, I have no means of getting them to the school he chose, and he has since filed unemployed which leaves him with the opportunity to stop supporting them financially and transporting. Once again interrupting my efforts to work.
A: You need to file a motion requesting emergency relief stating the reasons why it is an emergency. The court will then decide whether to hear it sooner or not.
