Most Times They Give Another Court Date. Best Of Luck * If the absentee parent was duly served and has not contacted the court and requested and received a continuance or his or her legal counsel is not present, the court will continue with custodial proceedings based on the facts at hand. The absentee parent must then abide by the custodial decisions made at the hearing but will not necessarily lose the right to file his or her own suit at some later time, to have the custodial order amended. A non appearance or non reponse indicates to the court that the absentee parent is not demonstrating parental concern or responsibility towards his or her minor child/children.
