We prepared medical evidence, genealogical evidence, had witnesses ready to go -- everything --for the adversary hearing we were told we had a "right" to. When we show up with all the aforementioned 'ammo,' we are told that it was now only a 'status hearing,' and that no witnesses could be called and no statements could be made to the court. What is most upsetting is that all this evidence goes against CPS and the conservators of my nephews, who have consistently denied medical testing and treatment for months for a genetic disease which I have, which could kill them, and which the oldest boy is already showing symptoms of. The lawyer is no help, either. Is this right? How did this happen? What can we do to make sure we get heard? Two beautiful boys' lives depend on this.

Adversary hearing is not a status hearing but all the procedures in the Rules on Court must be followed and notices to the other party must be made in order to have a valid trial.
