Question

i have to go to court in 3 weeks and her father moved he is still in the same state but further away, how will i know if he notifies the court? we go back in 3 weeks for the paternity results does he have to provide them with the information? how can i bring it up in court? i dont have a lawyer

Answer 1

If I am understanding correctly, are you concerned with where he lives in regards to your child? Is this a custody case? If so, then I can understand why you would be concerned with where he resides and if he has notified the court on the 'change'.

Now if you are fighting for custody, and you are going to pursue child support after the results of the paternity test, then of course I would have to agree with Michael, and advise you to just speak with the judge on the matter but do so in a reasonable manner. Don't just rise before the court and do it in an accusing manner. You want the Judge to listen to you, and believe me he will listen, if you speak to him in a calm manner.

I'm only bringing this up because it seems like the topic of his residence is very important to you, as it should, and in some cases that I've seen, I've played witness to angry mothers yelling at the possible father in court. Noone wants to hear two people argue. Most of the time, noone can hear what you want them to because of accusing antics.

Eventhough you do not have a lawyer, you still have a leg to stand on in court as long as you act reasonably. Although I would strongly suggest seeking out some type of legal aid in your state. Good luck!

Answer 2

Although I don't usually argue with Michael, you have provided not enough information to base an opinion. WHY does it matter if the child's father moved?

There is a reason you asked the question. We would need to know that to help.

Answer 3

If there is a pending action, he has to show up for the hearings or you pretty much get your way. If you need to bring up his move in court for some reason, just talk to the judge.
