    Default Can You Get a Change of Venue if a Judge Signs an Order in Your Absence

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Texas
    If an attorney has been getting orders signed by a judge without the agreement of both parties, and if the attorney and plaintiff fail to show for a hearing set to review temporary custody orders, could that be enough to get a change of venue?

    Default Re: Can You Get a Change of Venue if a Judge Signs an Order in Your Absense

    Unless that judge is the only judge who handles family law cases in your county, even if you had grounds to have the case reassigned, you're not getting a change of venue.

    But if you fail to appear in court and a hearing occurs in your absence, that's the fault of you and your lawyer. If the judge enters an order based upon the other party's arguments or testimony at a court hearing that you don't attend, that's permitted.

    Beyond that, you will need to be more clear with the facts.

    The case not going your way?
