Daud v. Abdullahi
Annotate this CaseIn 2014, Mother filed a complaint seeking a protection order against Father for herself and their two children. After a hearing, the district court found that Father had abused Mother and issued a protection order for the benefit of Mother and the children and granted Mother temporary custody. Father appealed, arguing that the court erred by denying his motion to continue the hearing. Father orally made the motion at the hearing after the attorney he purportedly retained did not appear. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Father’s motion for a continuance.
