during the status conference after the evidentiary hearing for a temporary emergency custody hearing....i wanted to ask for another evidentairy hearing to present new evidence. before i could do this the opposing partys counsel asked for a new evidentiary hearing i didnt oppose. but this wasnt for the custody hearing, it was to reopen the trial to present the evidence that i had not complied with the orders from the custody hearing that i wasnt able to provide my evidence for but had wanted to be able to and so now representing myself i do not know what to do cuz i was tricked
Hi Jason,
It sounds like a complex situation. Here are some steps you can consider:
- File a motion to request another evidentiary hearing specifically for the custody matter.
- Clearly state that you have new evidence related to the custody issue.
- Explain to the court that you did not intend to waive your right to present this evidence.
