Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Notice to Produce - Am I required to?

The Notice to Appear and Produce generally informs you that you are required to be present for a hearing at a specific date and time and are also required to bring with you, in custody cases, the child who is the subject of the case. This notice is served by the attorney of the party, if he has an attorney - if not, it comes from the court.

The best thing to do would be to have your notice reviewed by your own attorney, to be certain there are not possible preliminary objections in the matter which might be made in your favor.

The notice must be followed to avoid a default verdict against you or, in a worse case scenario, a contempt citation or bench warrant issuing.
