I called the courthouse in Wiscasset his morning to find out if I can share the zoom meeeting information for my scheduled appearnance tomoorrow morning at 8:30, which is open to the public. She had to put me on hold to get the answer. I recorded our conversation, as I don't want to be arrested again for violating the current protection order. She said I can share the information, but it will be up to the presiding judge if people who try will be let into the hearing.
Regarding the protection from harassment or abuse order that expires on March 26, there is a motion to extend it. If I don't appear, the motion will be granted. Here's the information that the clerk gave me:

I won't have the assistance of counsel for this matter apparently. Below is a question I asked of the attorney yesterday and his reply. He doesn't have experience in family law matters, which my case has much to do with; and that's why I've asked for a new attorney and he asked to withdraw. Before he did he put in some motions for me so that deadlines to appeal and to ask for a new trial are not missed.
"Thank you for filing the motions to continue sentencing, and extend the deadlines for the appeal and a new trial. I made several requests that you locate my phone and verify the chain of custody while you were working on this case; I even asked for a Frank's hearing which I believe would have confirmed its location and whether police had the authority to take it or not." Paula
"We can talk about the scope of my service to you after the judge determines whether or not I will continue to represent you after Thursday's hearing." Attorney Parsons
