MONTANA Part 46

The judge’s decision

At the end of the hearing, the judge will say what the orders are. The judge may:

    Give the protected person the orders he or she asked for.
    Give the protected person some of the orders he or she asked for and not others.
    Not give the protected person any of the orders he or she asked for.
    Postpone your case and give you a new court date. This means you have to come back another day. The judge can do this if:

            You need more time to get a lawyer or prepare an answer.
            The judge wants more information.
            Your hearing is taking longer than planned.

    If the judge postpones (“continues”) your case, the judge may make orders that last until the new hearing date.
