Initial termination hearing

To be honest the Bmom showed up late for the TPR hearing, and she was sitting outside the courtroom when we all came out (she showed up late and then didn't even come in - even though you could see in the windows.)I believe (I make no promises) that the cases are presented and that's it. No testifying. BUT I was told that if it goes to trial that could last 2-3 days (and would take forever to get scheduled) and then people would have to testify. So I THINK that's how CA does it - the TPR doesn't really have testimony, but if they appeal then it's a trial.
