Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

My daughter was kidnapped from CPS at the hospital and I was never given due process or served. They told me over the phone the court date is monday and that's it. What happens if I fail to appear because I wasn't served and what happens if I do get served can I ask for 2 weeks to get an attorney?

Let me guess it was children and youth who took the child from the hospital. If yu don't appear tomorrow you'll lose. Based on your zip code you're in Maryland. To do any good knowing which county's C&Y took custody of the child would be essential to know.

Even if you successfully challenge the service requirement shelter care hearings have to occur within 4 days of C&Y taking custody of the child.

\Where is the hearing?
