What if there is an emergency and I cannot make it to my scheduled Court hearing?

If you experience an emergency on the day of your Court hearing, you should contact the Superior Court Office at 260-499-6363 to advise the Court of your situation. You will be directed to file a written Motion for Continuance with the Court and to include documentation verifying your emergency. It is your responsibility to make arrangements for transportation and with your employer to ensure that you are able to appear in Court for your scheduled hearing. An example of a valid emergency would be if you are in the emergency room for a sudden medical condition or if you are sick. If you are not able to provide proof of a valid emergency to the Court and you fail to appear for a criminal hearing, the Court may issue a warrant for your arrest.
