What should I do if I am stationed overseas but I have a court date stateside?

Answer by  Marsha (2337)

Contact the clerk of court for the court you are to appear in. Tell her your situation and she can move the date of your court date.

Either hire a lawyer to represent you in court or contact the court directly and tell them you are stationed overseas. They will likely expect some sort of proof.

You should speak to a military attorney at your base. Also, contact the court and explain the situation to them. You should be able to get a continuance.

Contact the personnel service of Navy, Army, or Marines. They can help you postpone the court date until you return.
