Minneapolis, MN asked in Child Custody, Child Support and Family Law for Minnesota

Q: Do I legally have to provide proof of my work schedule for scheduling a mediation

I'm representing myself. We were given dates to choose from, they picked next week because it fit around her work schedule, I declined due to my work schedule and her lawyer then emailed me requesting my work name address and phone number to prove my work schedule.

A: The lawyer can request, but you do not have to provide. That said, unless it would impact your work relationship or jeopardize your job, it may be simplest to give the information. At minimum, you should provide alternative times that WILL work for you for mediation.
