What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I dont know if im in the right area Ive never delt with this stuff at this level. Years ago I filed for disability (indiana is serverly backlogged in cases). I have been doing follow ups regularly (every 2-4 months) with my county prosecutor due to owing child support for my son in another state, also due to some new programs in Vocational Rehabilitation I recently decided to go BACK through it again. Which I have been doing. So all seems well.
So back in aug 2008, while our main prosecutor was out due to injury. I met with the replacement (who happened to be his partner). I turned in everything and they were happy to also see id been able to get into the vocational program so all was looking great. Then came my next update at begining of december. Which was going to be even better news cause Im being put in the process of a home job online and my vocational rep wrote a whole letter to the court about it. So I was all excited.
My appointment urr time to see them was at 9:15am (remember this is about child support but they are needing updates as to whats going on with things). So I get there and wait and wait and wait and they never call me. By noon time I finally ask the secretary whats going on (shes the one who calls names) she said "ohh the prosecutor wants you to see the judge". Well I cant be there past 1pm as I have no way home, we have no cabs, no taxis, and I dont drive (health issues which the prosecutor knows). My ride HAD to leave by 1pm (we live in a small town nearest city is 60 miles away). So I asked her if there was something we could do as I have been there by that time over 3 hours. Plus they had a case going that was going to be going till WELL into the afternoon. She said no. So I waited till 1pm.
At 1pm I left, which was at that time just 15 minutes after I talked to her. (if your keeping track I was just short of being in a hallway for 4 hours). I then went to the prosecutors office and had copies and things made of everything (I also had the office people sign that they recieved the work). I also wrote a note explaining things and asked if we could set up another day.
Now the next day I tried again calling and left msgs and no callbacks, I did all I could. Then last week before christmas (about 5 days after court) a officer showed up and served me papers saying I am in contempt and I have court in 3 weeks.
Now due to my health issues (which they are aware of) and my situation with rides and driving (again something they are of). Why did they not tell me or let me know I was to see a judge. All I got was a business card (like I normally do) stating my time im to see the county prosecutor. Why did they not call me back? why did they ignore my calls?
What they do around here is they set like x amount of people in 15 minute time blocks and they call names as they get through things. I have been doing my part of things and even gone the extra mile and yet now im having to go to court to be treated like a criminal for that day. I have no idea what to do or even who to talk to. I am extremly broke.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
