Court dates are scheduled months in advance usually. If there's an emergency, then one usually files a motion for a continuance.

- calgoo 10y agoOr Im living 6 months outside the country. From what I know, there is no need to let the government know where I am. Is it now my fault that the legal system cant find me? Is this because civil court dont have a police force that investigates and arrests you?
- manarth 10y agoIn some jurisdictions, a court can dismiss a default judgement, if you show that was a good reason for missing the hearing. That still takes you back to square one though, with an outstanding court case (and missing the next hearing would look pretty negative). If you manage to stay under the radar, you may eventually escape liability by exceeding the time-limits under a Statute of Limitations, but it's usually a risky and lengthy endeavor.
