What happens if the defendant does not come to the conference?
If the defendant has been properly served with notice to appear (this is usually handled by our office through certified mail), and we have wage information and paternity has been established, a temporary order for support will be issued and a hearing will be scheduled before a Master. If we dont have proper service or wage information, we will continue our efforts to obtain those things and reschedule the conference. If the defendant does not live in Chester County, we may request another county or state to enter the order. We take care of all necessary paperwork in that event.
