Well, this is the first and most dangerous issue that all parties look for. Learning the time limits is crucial.

Learn the Rules of Proceedure, if the judge is incorrect,
file an objection!

It is never easy, you may try to go on the offensive whenever possible.

OBJECT! Remember, you must object if you are going to be in a position to
appeal.

I went and tried to have it entered into the record as evidence as a certified copy but I think the dumbass clerk screwed me on that too. I see it was deleted.

Why not use this issue at your hearing, or trial?

Yes, this may be the case. In any event, it seems clear the judges don't seem to like unrepresented parties.

Try to stay out of the court system if possible. And fight like crazy if caught in that system. Finally, learn whatever you can from the experience.

I wish you the best of luck.
People, look I don't want to be some sort of salesman, however, it is vital to get an overview of the court system before we are in its warm (H-E-L-L-I-S-H) embrace. Please go to
www.jurisdictionary.com get
"the works" (about $219.00), study the information. You will need about twenty hours to feel comfortable with the information, in my view. Maybe there are other programs that will explain:Complaints, Motions, Discovery, Trials; and the examples of Proceedures, yet this is the best I have found.
Of course, you will still need to spend additional time learning your local rules, and the particulars of your case.
If you don't have the funds, I am willing to loan you my information,
free of charge, PM me if this is the case.
It is good, even necessary to have such an overview, even if you choose to hire an attorney, you need to keep an eye on this bunch.
