First of all, if this is an adult hearing (at 19, it should be), he needs to make these arrangements himself). They need to be done in writing. Most Courts prefer to have all requests done in writing so they may be on the Court record with a copy for the file. A simple handwritten request can be sufficient, along with a phone number for the Court to contact you (you'd be surprised how often this is forgotten!!)
Second, it depends if this is an arraignment or a trial, and whether he is pleaing guilty or not guilty. If it is an arraignment and he is going to plea guilty, or a trial and plea guilty, there should not be a problem, if he gives a full explanation of the circumstances (but DO NOT have him state anything about his plea in the request, simply that he is moving out of the area and that to return for the hearing would be a hardship).
If, on the other hand, he is asking for a trial and wants to plead not guilty, this will be time-consuming, and will be more difficult to put into the Court's calendar. While the Court may not be aware of this, you should be and have the courtesy to try and make some arrangement to accomodate this.
Also, if there is a possibility that probation will be given as a result of this action, you should remember to ask, in Court, if probation can be transferred to your new location!
Hope this information helps.

Call the clerk of court and explain about moving and see if they can reschedule that court appearance. Don't just show up on any random day because you need to know that the prosecutor for the jurisdiction where the ticket was issued will be there when your son appears.

depending on what the offense is like traffic tickets without a warrant some can be payed before court day. of course you can contact that department to find out if a warrant has been issued. if the person is on probation this offense may be a violation of the probation. therefore this person will have a new charge and a another charge for violating the probation or parole under various circumstances

In Massachusetts's you must appear for court the day they set your hearing, you may go to the court and request the date to be pushed back. They don't always grant you a reschedule date though.

you greater appropriate desire you have a advantageous decide, if he's affected person he will supply you yet another threat. yet while no longer he could be insulted you probably did no longer come to court on your final court date and immediately have a bench warrant waiting for you. so talk on your lawyer and humble up once you get there yet surely go

You can notify the scheduling clerk of the court, and explain your situation, and see if the judge can reschedule the hearing.

yes notify the court. They will probably have you come in and wait. If someone else does not show for their court date then they will allow him to go ahead instead.

Call the courthouse and ask to be rescheduled. Explain your situation. You may not be able to, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
