I just recieved a notice of hearing from the state of new hampshire for reasons I'd rather not discuss if I don't need to the hearing date is march 6 how ever I live in california and have already made plans that cannot be changed What would I have to do to get a hearing date for a later time? I know lawyers can do it is there a way a normal person can change the date had the date been like a week before or after the 6th that would of been fine but I just can't do it the 6th any help?

I recommend that you contact an attorney. For example if this is a hearing regarding child custody or child support, I recommend an attorney who specializes in family law.
You have some very important legal rights.You need an attorney to protect those rights for you.
I do not recommend that you try to handle this yourself. Hire an atorney.

First, you may not have to attend the hearing if the notice was not properly served on you. But there are not enough facts here to tell whether that is so.
Second, it depends on the type of hearing, who is asking for it, whether it has been continued once before and several other factors.
Since you don't want to give more information, the best I can tell you is to contact the party that is requesting the hearing and try to get them to agree to a rescheduling.

Well, you might be able to ask the lawyers if you can do a phoned-in testimony. In Cook County, IL in the 1990's, I had to give testimony by telephone against a sexual predator. Depends on the situation I guess.

Send the court a letter, with a full explanation and a copy of your plans and any expense you might lose if you fail to meet the plans. Make sure that you give them as much information as possible.

You have to call the clerk of court where it's scheduled and ask what their procedure is for a continuance, or re scheduling the date due to conflict. She'll tell you no problem.

I would write a letter to the court and cc it to the other parties attorney (if they have one), send it certified mail with a return receipt of signature required. They can reschedule your hearing.
