More details to this question:
Hi there, my question is as follows: I am a key witness in my brother's custody court, his ex abused the children. Long story short, my brother won the case, but she appealed, we had a court scheduled June 25 but the other party went for a continuance. No court was scheduled following that one. My wife and I bought tickets for our vacation on June 2. The other party just recently informed us they motioned for a new hearing on August 9 but I will be out of town on vacation, I actually fly in that evening. My brother's attorney informed me that we can not ask for a continuance because the other party waited till the last possible moment to issue the court date, he says the days already ran out to ask for continuance. My question is what do I do now? Should I not leave for vacation, which sorry is bull crap. Do I have fork out my own money to reschedule my flight and cut my vacation short? How is her attorney able to get away with waiting till the last possible moment to schedule so th

The last part of your question was not legible but obviously he needs to have his attorney consult with you. Most appeals are handled by paper so your help may not be needed but if the appeal was from a Magestrate the judge might be required to hold a new trial. Ask his attorney what you need to do.
