If family courts is scheduled for 3 days, does that mean they have to be there 8 hours every day for 3 days?

It probably means you have to show up and they will call his case when they’re ready and then it will take as long as it takes, up to an estimate of three days.

Ah. Thanks. Wish I could be there, but I have to baby sit everyone. :(

I’ve had many family court days with my job. Many many. First, they tell you to be there at a certain time, It’s almost never called on time, at least in the county I work in. The attorneys get together and talk and the caseworkers talk with the attorneys. In the county I work in (I am stressing this because it may not be the same in all counties), if they say three days, that means a trial will be happening because nothing else will take three days. Maybe it’s a CPS case, or they’re looking to terminate parental rights. Or maybe it’s a foster care case. If they say three days, then plan on all three days being spent in court or waiting outside while they discuss things inside. Anything else, they would give a time and you can plan on it taking a few hours.

I used to tell parents “don’t let this get to where it goes to court, because once that happens, it can be months of court dates.” Also, once things go to a judge, it doesn’t really matter what the caseworker thinks or what the parents think or what anybody else thinks, it all matters what the judge thinks.

Big Pain in the Ass.

I am fairly certain is isn’t CPS or terminating parental rights, and I know it’s not foster care. I mean, I don’t think so. I’ll ask my son today what it’s about.
