Hello....
Just a bit of background......My husband is out of work for the almost 3 months and has not recieved any SW assistance yet due to back log.
He has a daughter from a previous relationship who he pays maintenance for. Due to situation he applied to court to have the maintenace varied. Court clerk issued the summons and he was to send it via registered post to his ex. All this is fine and ex as been informed that this is going to be done.
So planned on registering summons along with a letter to ex tomorrow. He was then to go back later this week to the court clerk with proof of registered post. But today my husband recieved his exam timetable (he is studying part time also) and the exams are on the day of the court.
Can anyone advise what can be done in this situation. If he was to go back to the court clerk tomorrow could the date be changed as the summons has not yet been sent to ex? Or what happens if he doesn't turn up at the court? We are very respectful of the court and the law but my husband also wants to get his exams completed because due to the work situation here he may need to consider going abroad (UK hopefully) for work. He therefore does not want to have to put off exams until next repeats or next year.
Any advise really appreciated on what to do in this situation. Thanks.
