In a family law proceeding involving divorce, custody, child support, and property equalization, the applicant brought a motion seeking to strike the respondent’s affidavit and revise the timetable for a pending summary judgment motion.
The respondent, self‑represented and recently employed, requested an adjournment on the basis that she could not attend the scheduled hearing.
The court considered the absence of prejudice to the applicant and the respondent’s circumstances, including new employment and recent illness.
The motion was adjourned with directions requiring the respondent to deliver updated financial disclosure and medical documentation if illness prevented attendance.
Costs were reserved to the next hearing date.
