Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Non jury bench trial postpone ment needed

I am asking for a modification to child support and have a temporary order. I was just assigned a mediation order by the court for the 24th of September and received a non jury bench trial calander for Oct 6th. I am attending a medical conference that I am involved with as a patient out of town on October 6th.

I am Pro Se.

Can I ask for a Notice of leave of absence for that one day?

You can probably ask for anything you want. No one here can tell you whether you will get it.

Don't know of any judge who would stop you from asking.

You might call the opposing counsel and see if they have an objection to your request. If they don't try presenting a Joint Motion for postponement. Can't hurt.
