Q: How Can I Officially Announce My Refusal to Communicate with My Wife's Attorney?
I am currently involved in divorce proceedings and have filed several complaints with the State Bar regarding my wife’s attorney numerous alleged misconducts towards both myself and the court, as well as her continuous filing of Ex Parte applications, none of which have been granted. Given these circumstances, am I allowed to cease communications with my wife via Talking Parents and directly bypass her attorney, especially concerning matters of parenting time and support, until the Bar complaint is resolved?
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
A: You have the right to communicate directly with your spouse regarding matters related to parenting time and support. However, it's advisable to keep a record of all communications, and it's essential to adhere to any court orders and legal requirements regarding communication. While your complaints against your wife's attorney are pending with the State Bar, you can still engage in direct communication with your spouse but do so in a respectful and compliant manner.
