Re: I got a ticket for a suspended license for AFDC
Go to court and explain to the judge circumstances of your license being suspended and request a 90 day continuance, or longer is needed, to allow you to get the matter resolved in family court. If the judge will not let your explain then set the matter for trial. You should also consider the cost of going to traffic court compared to the fine. Then choose the cheapest way to deal with this unfortunate situation. Nolo Press publishes "How to Fight Your Traffic Ticket" this book will provide you with information on how to present your case in court.
