If a party receives less than 10 days' notice of a proceeding, what must they do?

When you’re served with a proceeding with less than 10 days’ notice, you must act promptly to preserve your rights and give the court time to respond. The required step is to file a notice at least three days before the hearing. This formal notice signals your intent to participate and, if needed, to seek a continuance or other relief, allowing the court and the other party a little time to adjust. The three-day timing is the key requirement. Waiving rights to change judge isn’t connected to this notice timing, and a seven-day notice isn’t the rule here. While requesting a continuance is a common remedy when notice is short, the mandatory action you must take is submitting the appropriate notice at least three days prior to the proceeding.
