Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Can I appeal a default order against me in regard to custody of my child? I had not intended to default, the judge had told me that if I filed a response that she would set a trial date. I responded and no date was ever set and then a default hearing was set by the lawyer of the petitioners. I tried to call in on the default hearing and I was told (by the person who answered the phone when I called in) that I was not allowed to call in on it.Then I recieved notice in the mail that the petitioners were granted the default (and custody)because I had not appeared in person or over the phone. The child in question resides in Phx., Az with her paternal Grandparents. I am her biological Mother and I reside in Tn.
