I recently filed for divorce through the Pomona Court House and missed my court date for the mediation due to not being able to locate my spouse, do I lose my filing fees?
You should consult the local family rules in your county. Generally, you have a certain number of days from the date the Petition for Dissolution was filed to serve the other party. You should always make all court appearances even if it is only to inform the court you were unable to serve the other party.
Under Sex Laws in california can I sue someone for adultery?
California is a no fault state, so adultery is not relevant in a divorce case. It is possible to bring a civil action claiming emotional distress or something similar, but those suits are hard to prove and expensive.
A non custodial parent calls and reports to CPS that the custodial parent failed to give medication to child in a timely manner. The mother,being the non custodial parent calls CPS and then tell the father, custodial parent, that CPS said he couldn’t come get them. He calls CPS and the social worker says “Well maybe you should just let them stay the night and we will meet tomorrow.” Is that statement law or does the custodial parent have to be somehow legally notified of a “no contact?” This is obviously case of custodial interference, but CPS doesn’t know what they are doing. They didn’t even contact him, he had to call them.
In this situation, parties should seek an order from the family law court regarding custody and visitation.
