Legal Question in Family Law in California

You will have to contact the other party and try to convince them to grant you a continuance. Unless the doctors appointment is urgent and you can not cancel, I would suggest you make the court date your priority, since you may lose out on some important rights if you don't show up to the court date.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
