What to do if I just received a notice of status conference from my son’s father but I now live out of state?

I moved to another state in which I am now a resident. I just started a new job and really can’t get time off. Can this get moved her? Will the judge make me come?

Depending on the judge and the county, you may be able to appear by phone.  Or you can hire an attorney to appear on your behalf.  The judge will not "make you come," but the judge could take legal action without you present giving your input.

Best of luck.
