QUESTION
Can I postpone my hearing without an attorney? Or does the attorney himself have to do it?
Asked on Jan 04th, 2017 on Domestic Violence - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I had a temporary restraining order filed against me for cyber harassment. I never made any physical contact with anyone everything was through the internet/social media but it is a domestic violence case. I wanted to know if I can request to postpone my hearing so that I can hire a lawyer, because at the moment I may not be able to pay one right away.

Hello,
You won't be able to postpone the Final Restraining Order hearing indefinitely. Perhaps you will get one week, but probably not more. The FRO hearing is supposed to occur withint 10 days of the TRO.
Please call if you are interested in representation.
