What will happen if the Respondent does not attend the conciliation session?
Parties should inform the Maintenance Enforcement Officer if the scheduled date and time for the first conciliation session is not suitable.
If the Respondent does not attend the conciliation session, the Maintenance Enforcement Officer will reschedule the conciliation session for both parties.
If the Respondent is absent again without a valid reason, the Maintenance Enforcement Officer will inform the Court. The Court may direct the Respondent to attend a second rescheduled conciliation session, failing which a Warrant of Arrest may be issued.
