Q: How can the court check box stating I waive my right for this matter to be heard within 30 days due to lack of service?
This allowed them to determine a "reasonable amount of time" to be over 60 days. I don't want suggested to consult a lawyer I'm simply asking for an answer.

A:
To address the court's checkbox stating you waive your right for the matter to be heard within 30 days due to lack of service, you need to understand the implications of checking that box. By waiving this right, you agree that the court can extend the timeframe to determine the matter. This waiver gives the court the discretion to define what constitutes a "reasonable amount of time," which in your case was extended to over 60 days.
If you believe this extension is unjust, you can file a motion to contest the court's decision. In this motion, clearly state why the delay is unreasonable and how it negatively impacts your case. Provide any supporting evidence or arguments that demonstrate the need for a more expedited process.
It's important to stay proactive and follow up with the court regularly. Ensure you keep all documentation organized and be prepared to present your case effectively. Taking these steps can help you manage the timeline and ensure your concerns are properly addressed by the court.
