Q: When I turn the contempt papers into the clerk to file, do I have to send a copy to my ex wife’s attorney or do they?
I can’t afford an attorney, so I print off and file the contempt papers and fill them out myself. She has not been letting me have them on my court ordered parenting time and has been warned by the judge last time we were in court about it. I’ve tried to file twice and it hasn’t gone through because it said I didn’t fill something out correctly (which I understand and have fixed) And another time because I didn’t give proper notification.
A: Based on the information provided in your question you should request the clerk to do it and then drop a copy of it in the mail to her attorney
