Q: Wife's attorney is stonewalling requests for documents, though the judge asked us to reconcile -if not he will decide.
I sent Form intorogatories and later 1st meet and confer letter.
Wife''s attorney declined to produce financial documents that I asked such as bank statements, retirement current paystubs etc. (California -full disclousure).
Each paragraph answered: I took diligence and was unable to produce docs ....either lost/misplaces/or destroyed or never existed etc. (how bank statements could be destroyed/lost or misplaced -I asked to print those out -you have access to them everytime you login to your bank -similiar paystubs -you ask your HR person and I know her place of work was not 'stolen or misplaced'l lol
Judge told us to come to conclusion in 90 days -if not he will decide in our case.
Should I file another Interogatories? or write 2nd meet and confer? or maybe wait till our next family resolution conference?
A: Your remedy for failure to respond to discovery or failure to provide further responses after a meet and confer is to file a motion to compel, assuming you have missed the deadline to do so.
