[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long from now until you travel?  A lot of courts are still backed up from COVID closures and to some degree smaller dockets so the court is less crowded.  Might want to check with the clerk to make sure you can get a hearing date before your trip.  Hopefully you have a few months before your trip.[/quote]
a little over a month :(
I will call the court, thanks![/quote]

YW.  Personally, I think it is extremely unlikely you are going to be able to get an appearance before your travel date.  Courts usually have a pretty full calendar and it's unlikely they will have extra space just to fit you in like that on such short notice absent a really compelling reason.  [/quote]

I agree.  I'd be surprised if you could get a hearing in the next six months on this issue.  Definitely talk to the court, but don't be surprised if you get a run around answer.  Clerks don't want to give advice or appear to be making promises.

Unless the court assures you that you will have your hearing in time to execute your travel plans, I would seriously consider not filing the motion and trying to come up with an amicable resolution to your issues.  Antagonizing your ex by filing a motion seems like you could be shooting yourself in the foot both on this and on future issues that require cooperation between the two of you.  You haven't said what your dispute is about, but I presume it is something big if you are willing to put this trip and your formerly amicable relationship in jeopardy.  [/quote]

It's 6 weeks, as I just learned today, but you are absolutely right about me not wanting to antagonize my ex. I will just tell him that if he neither takes the kid nor agrees to travel I will have no other option but involve the court. Yes it's smth big  in the agreement, the one thing my consulting lawyer actually told me not to budge on! -OP[/quote]
