Do I have to write to a judge about a missed hearing?
I am going through a divorce, child support and domestic violence case. I just received today a letter stating notice of hearing for today at 9 am, I received the letter today. It was mailed the 17th. I did not have time to go because the mail got here at 11 am. The hearing was for motion to consolidate, from my husbands attorney. Was I supposed to even be there and can I write to the judge and show proof of the letter being stamped the 21st, that I received it today and was not aware of the hearing being today?

Yes, you can write to the jduge (copy to the attorney) if you have an objection to the relief requested.
