You should show up. You can ask for a continuance when you are in court. If you don't show up you run the risk of a default judgement.
You need to check the rules of the court to see how you can proceed. It might be more helpful to speak to local counsel.
Please speak to the clerk. Otherwise, you might be able to file a motion to possibly expedite things.
I strongly suggest you speak to an attorney asap and file a custody petition. Right now, you have no rights on paper, and if mom tells the court...
You don't just terminate rights because there is no contact. There needs to be an abuse or neglect finding brought by ACS or CPS.
Its a valid order everywhere. It applies in all states.
She can file a petition in court. She should speak with an attorney before to discuss the matter.
If its small claims court, he can just show up. He should speak to an attorney for guidance nontheless.
It sounds like you need to speak to an attorney asap.
