Since he's going there due to a contempt hearing against him there's
going to be 0 sympathy.  They'll come up with some nonsense -- one of
their team is ill, had a flat, whatever -- and the judge will grant
the continuance.  My ex's attorney tried the same crap with me but I
just granted my own attorney LPOA and left to visit friends.  Jim has
no lawyer so he doesn't have that option.

As a general rule in civil cases you pay your own costs and
attorney's fees.  The only common exceptions are statutory (fraud,
civil rights, etc.).
