My ex boyfriend and I were ordered to attend mediation ...

Sent to Legal Experts July 02 11:03 PM

My ex boyfriend and I were ordered to attend mediation for my rlocation with a minor child issue.He filed a petition to prevent the relocation. I showed up to mediation, he did not. This is not the first time he has not shown up. The order states "Parties are further notified that the order to show cause shall be vacated and reset if they do not attend" What does that mean?Can I move now or do we still have to have a hearing?

Unfortunately I may not be able to give you a clear answer because the court's orders are contradictory.

The order to show cause shall be vacated means that his petition has been set aside. That is perfectly clear, what is not clear as you have guessed is the rest of the order "...and reset if they do not attend" not sure what this means, it could mean that it will be reset because one party did not attend." The best thing you can do is called the court clerk for clarification.

My apologies for not being able to clarify this language for you. Since this question was not helpful you are not required to accept.
