my bank account is frozen and i have no money to support myself and my family how do i lift this order in order to do so prior to my court date?
My bank account was froze on 5/19/09 and my court date is 6/15/09. That is my only source of my income going in and out to support myself and my family. Is there any legal documentation that can help me lift this order to have my account unfrozen?

You need to get legal help asap. If you can not afford an attorney go down to the Court and ask them to refer you to Legal Services. From the information you have given it is unclear why your account was frozen a month before your court date. Was there already a proceeding started against you?
The court clerks can also be helpful in preparing an expedited motion to lift the restriction on your account until further court proceedings, if at all possible. It is hard to tell from the information you have given here. Bring all the paperwork down to the Court with you. Good luck.
