Question

I have a court date (motion to modify) in less than 1 week. I have not obtained a lawyer yet. I answered the summons as direct to avoid a default judgement. If I go to my court date without a lawyer can I get an extension or have the case moved to a later docket to have time to find an attorney?



Answer

Without knowing who is your judge or all the issues involved, I can not be certain. However, in most situations, you will be able to obtain more time to hire an attorney.
