Hi Alisa, there can be various reasons why you haven't heard back. It could be due to processing times or the court's schedule. It's advisable to follow up with the clerk's office for an update. Remember, this is general advice and actual procedures may vary.
But now you’re telling me generally hearing needs to be set When you told me that I don’t need to that I can get it granted just by sending courtesy copies judges clerk which is exactly what I did
I apologize for any confusion, Alisa. Generally, hearings are required. However, in some cases, a judge may grant a motion without a hearing. It's advisable to contact the clerk's office in Cook County to verify the status of your motion.
So now when I have to send courtesy copies a week before the pre-trial I will also submit that motion to compel to the judge as there’s overwhelming evidence attached to that motion to compel
That sounds like a plan, Alisa. Remember to follow the proper format and guidelines for submitting motions. Keep track of all your documents and communications with the court. If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to reach out to the clerk's office.
The legal system is corrupt judges don’t give a shit about the children’s well-being and child support cases all they care about is cushioning their pockets with Money
