    So they haven't given up. Just received a letter saying the case has now been moved to a different court that is 20 minutes further away than my local court who isn't accepting hearings. I would have to use public transport to get there which would take me hours as well as taking my 5 month old baby who is exclusively breastfed. I'm really not happy about putting myself and baby at risk by attending this hearing. Can I write and ask for a postponement? What if I'm high risk and shielding etc? 
    Any advice greatly received.

    Oh I also forgot to mention. I have 3 other children that cannot be left on their own so how could I possibly attend this hearing at this time with social distancing in place as I can't take them with me? My partner is working so can't look after them.

    You have no option but to ask for the case to be postponed. Write to the court with a full explanation. They may suggest the case is heard on papers or a video/phone call which you must resist
    I don't think any court can penalise you due to Covid.  Right now, with the sheer number of idiots flouting the rules, you will never know who you are sitting next to,
    You must make your letter very clear and the circumstances

    Oh and also I've just realised I'd already told the court I was on holiday on this date (not that I'm going now anyway but they don't know that).

    So adapt the example I wrote on page 10 of the Telephone Hearings thread, weeks ago. 

    I also added another example to it last week about explaining why having young children at home means you can't even attend a telephone hearing due to not have a quiet room and not being able to leave them unsupervised.

    This is already all explained in the Telephone Hearing thread. Have you not been reading threads in between your postings on this thread?  Just copy what we've already posted to help people.

    Thanks very much. I will look. No I haven't I'm afraid. I'm homeschooling 3 children and looking after a baby so until I received this letter I'd not really been thinking about the case.
    That's really helpful and I will look now. Thank you very much for your help.

     I'm homeschooling 3 children and looking after a baby 
    That scenario stops you from being able to accept a telephone hearing.  I added a reply only last week to the telephone hearings thread showing how to word it when you are homeschooling and have no quiet room, and will need a face to face hearing later, instead.
