Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Surely the attorney involved is working for one of the spouses, correct? Is the lawyer working for you? For your spouse? (The attorney is not & cannot be handling this matter for both of you...) Ask your lawyer. We att'ys here provide general legal info' - your own att'y may give you legal advice & counsel. The general guidance to your legal question would be that of course court dates are not to be 'skipped'. I suggest you read the court notice carefully: The wording should be 'loud and clear'.
