Legal Question in Family Law in California

Did he move out of the country or the county? Not sure if you have a typo. You also state that you could locate him. Not sure if that is supposed to be "could not." The attorney will need to sign the substitution of attorney, otherwise you will have to file a motion with the court.

Make sure you go to your hearing and tell the Judge what happened with your attorney and you will be able to represent yourself, or hire another attorney for the hearing.

Mr. Roach and Mr. White are both correct. If you know where the attorney is call him and find out what happened and fax him the substitution of attorney. If you can't find him follow what Mr. White told you to do. However, start looking for a new attorney.

Good luck
