Family Law - he is not providing discovery...?

Question

Here is what seems to be going on - I don't think my X, who originally was representing himself & retained an attorney at our last court date, is paying his attorney. After our last court date his attorney imm. asked for us to provide discovery, we asked for an extention and for them to provide his discovery to us for 1 mnth later. We since provided to them our discovery but his attorney has not and when my attorney contacts her she said she doesn't have it and not to contact her office again on this matter!

Do you think she is stalling, isn't that a strange reply to a perfectly legitimate request? Do you think perhaps she has not been paid by him and that is why she is being evasive?

Perhaps my x is trying to play games and has no intension of providing discovery and plans to play poor-man at our next court date - can he get away with that? If this is the case could we ask our next court date to be rescheduled once we actually receive his discovery

I would love your input

Answer 1

He is trying to play games and you should report the attorney that told you not to contact the office again . you can report them to the bar association they might also be playing games. good luck and god bless you.

Answer 2

He may be trying to play "poor man" but he surely won't get away with it, not with the justice system. However, it's best for you to worry about your own self. If he's digging himself a hole, so be it, he'll have to lay in it. This isn't something you should be concerned about.

Answer 3

you should notify the court there has been no discovery from him.
he's obviously playing tactic.
