ITEM 14L | MOTIONS FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
Because dependency and termination cases are expedited in the appellate court, extensions of time are generally only granted in the case of an emergency. If an emergency, such a serious illness or hospitalization, prevents the pro se parent from completing the brief in the time allowed, the parent must file a motion for extension of time to serve the pro se brief, before the brief is due, to ask the court for additional time. Before filing the motion, the pro se parent must call each party’s attorney to determine if those attorneys object to the extension. In the motion, the pro se parent must inform the court of the other parties’ position. If a party does object, the parent only needs to say in the motion that the party objects. The parent does not need to give a reason. It is the duty of the objecting party to let the court know why he or she objects.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
