What does motion passed without prejudice mean? Neither party showed up. He lives in another country now. (For child support)

I am sorry, could you clarify? On the heading you asked "What does motion passed without prejudice mean?" But on the body of your post, you asked about "What motion passed with prejudice mean in the case for a child support hearing." Which one is it: with or without prejudice? What did you mean by "passed?" Was the Motion granted or denied? What specifically did the Motion ask for?

Someone filed a Motion to get the matter on the court calendar. On the day it was scheduled, no one showed up. Therefore, the case was passed - no action was taken. It is without prejudice meaning that in some future time, the Motion can be refiled and the court can hear it at a later time. Were the legal papers ever served upon the father?

Attorney Hirsch gave a great answer. As long as you and the child still live in the jurisdiction, the court most likely continues to have jurisdiction. Consult with a practicing family court attorney to review your case and ensure your child is receiving proper support.
