Get Jud Ct Gov Form

How Can I Change My Connecticut Court Date? If you are unable to make your court date for a Connecticut arrest, then you MUST call the Case Flow Coordinator Clerk at the Superior Court clerk's office. The Case Flow clerk is usually the man or woman in charge of all court case scheduling.

You will also have a better chance of getting a continuance if you provide a good, plausible reason for your request, such as a conflicting hearing or doctor's appointment scheduled at the same time as the hearing that you are requesting be continued.

Usually for medical or family emergencies, but these continuance requests must be made in advance. The Case Flow Coordinator will consult with the presiding judge on whether or not your request may be granted. You usually cannot call the day of your scheduled court appearance and expect a continuance to be granted.

You don't do yourself any favors by challenging the court to give you the most severe penalties by skipping a court date. If you fail to appear, a judge will almost always issue a bench warrant for your arrest.

You must file an "Appearance" Form (JD-CL-12) with the court clerk's office. It includes your name, address, telephone number, and signature. It tells the court that you are representing yourself. Filing it allows the court to contact you about all court events in your case.

You follow the same procedure, but you must fill out and file all the legal forms yourself. The Do-It-Yourself Divorce Guide and Do-It-Yourself Guide Supplement (must be used together) are written to help people without legal training use Connecticut State Courts to obtain a divorce without the use of an attorney.

You begin the procedure by filing a Complaint for Dissolution of Marriage in the Superior Court of the county where you live. If neither party is seeking alimony, you may file in any county that would be convenient to you and your spouse.

Fill out the following forms: The Summons Family Actions (JD-FM-3) The Divorce Complaint (Dissolution of Marriage) (JD-FM-159) or, if you are filing to dissolve a civil union, not a marriage, the Dissolution of Civil Union Complaint (JD-FM-159A)

The first step in getting a divorce from your spouse is to petition for divorce. This simply is the filing of the divorce papers and serving them to your soon-to-be ex spouse. They then must file an answer to the documents that they receive.
