Hello there
I have filed for child custody and divorce last august. Used to have a court date once every month for the child custody case. Judge 2 was due to give his decision in April and the date was given, but for some unknown reason, he was replaced by judge 2. And then the court went on holiday for a month. WIth the new judge in place, I am still getting date every month as the judge 2 gives reason that he has not read the case and therefore cannot decide. Its been almost 1 year now and still the case is where it is and the 2nd one not even started.
My lawyer says," this is how things happen. You can appeal if you dont like the decision, but you have to wait for the decision".
My question is
1) Is this normal court procedure?
2) If the judge has not read the case, is it right that new dates are given every month. I have to take leave from work, so I dont get paid. And I have to pay the lawyer despite nothing really progressing.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
