You need to file appropriate documents in response at least 7 day prior to the hearing. Most courts have a family law facilitator who will help for free.

What letter? You didn'tdescribe it or set forth its nature. Your son should retain an attorney to represent him, so that his case can properly move forward while he is in prison. Whether or not to sanction the wife for failing to show up at the Case Management Conference is up to the judge.

You have to do a formal response. You cannot just send a letter to the court they cannot read letters. What he has to do is prepare a response. If this is a family law case in California he can use Judicial Council Form FL-320. He does his response, serves the other side, and then files that with the court.

Send a letter to the court with a copy to the other side. Tell the court he is incarcerated.
