She said ok, we will be contacting you sometime next month. Well just to make sure I called the next day and that guy said if I dont show I will be held in contempt.

Review your Notice and get name of judge that will be conducting hearing. Call his office and talk to calendar clerk or law clerk or administrative asst. If the judge is not listed, then call the Superior Court Clerk's Office in the County where the hearing is to be held and get judge's name and telephone number so you can call his office. Other than that, you can file a request to continue the hearing and set out the reasons for the request or you can hire attorney.
