Q: This if for a child support modification case (after 14 years). What should I respond to this email with regarding ..
Last Friday was day 45 when all mandatory disclosure and financial affidavits were due to be turned in / delivered by mail. We still have not received them. We found a motion to compel but it says you must attempt by contacting party/attorney to get the documents before filing the motion. We sent an email to her attorney, it was very straightforward. He got an immediate response that said.. “We are going through what we have and will have those to you soon.” Soon is not a good enough answer I don’t think considering the documents are late. Should we respond / what should the next steps be for us to do?
A: Ask the attorney for a specific date for compliance. If they will not agree or if it is too far out then file the motion to compel. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
