A: To be heard in court on any issue you need to file a motion and request a hearing. If a hearing is already scheduled you need to be sure that your issue is noticed to be heard at the hearing. Seeing the judge in chambers as opposed to in the courtroom is at the discretion of the judge. Once you notice your hearing you can present appropriate witnesses for the issue at hand. These can be complex procedures. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
