Q: Hi, My own attorney retired, I was wondering if I could request items directly from my ex's lawyer or if I need one to.
I need my ex's address and my daughter's need their birth certificates and SSC but he isn't giving me either. I was wondering if I needed to get my own lawyer to get these or if I could go directly to my ex's lawyer myself and ask him to talk to my ex.
A: If you are no longer represented, you can contact the attorney directly. Be aware that he or she may want confirmation that you are not represented before responding to you.
