Let me supplement my colleagues' accurate answers with this thought: even if the attorney is representing your ex in some matter involving you, you should not take the chance of delay by mailing or delivering anything to the attorney's office.

Steven Alan Fink

Unless the lawyer is actively representing him in an ongoing proceeding against you, the ex must be personally served. If papers are an OSC re Contempt they definitely must be personally served, even if lawyer is representing him.

Since you are representing yourself, it is expected that the father's attorney would contact you. If you disagree with a continuance tell him so. The attorney can file a motion for a continuance and the judge will decide whether to grant it.

Jeffrey Scott Keller

Yes asking for continuances is standard practice because of the demands of the business.

Thomas O. Moens

You might also keep in mind that one day the roles may be reversed, and you will be unable to attend a hearing for some unforeseen reason. Your courtesy and understanding now likely will be returned should that occur.

Wes Cowell

Requesting a continuance is not unusual. The bigger question, here, is why don't you have an attorney?

Dean Taradash

Yes, it's normal. If you object to the continuance, then tell him so. He'll have to file a Motion and you can explain. To the judge why you object.

Judd S Nemiro

Sometimes, the judges will want to no if the opposing party will object to a continuance, so the attorney was calling you to see if you would agree to it or what your position is on it. If you don't agree, then he will have to file the motion to continue with the court and you can object to it. Good luck to you...

Unfortunately, no attorney in this forum will be as informed as your attorney. If you are displeased with your attorney's performance, you need to address your concerns with your attorney. If you remain dissatisfied, then hire a new attorney.

Rachel Aliza Elovitz

First, thank you so much for your service. Second, you might speak to your attorney about getting the case specially set - getting a trial put down on the court's calendar on a date certain - a date on which everyone agrees, so that you no longer have to deal with continuances.
