Legal Question in Family Law in California
I've been filed on for a Dissolution of Marriage and have been served about 2 weeks ago in Orange County, CA.. While I'm finding counsel I might be going over the 30 day period to respond. Can I file a 'Motion for Continuance' or another document to have that time extended?

My office is in the City of Orange, right across from the Family Law Court house. If you wish to consult with me over the telephone regarding your case, I would be happy to do so. Thereafter, if you should decide to retain my office, we can make an appointment. Also, if need be, I would contact the opposing attorney, and request an extension to file our response.

Short of hiring an attorney, you basically have to contact the other side and request and extension. Extensions should always be confirmed in writing.
