answered on Feb 15, 2023
You didn't say whether there's a judgment determining custody, but your statement that your parents have "joint custody" makes me assume that there is one. Your father would need to file a Rule to Modify Custody in the custody case asking the court to give him domiciliary... Read more »

Your post is missing something which does not allow one to attempt to answer your question.
I do not want to answer to them, and my attorney is not deposing them, and telling me to go to this deposition. It feels to me I'm bringing the bullets to the gun owner. .. It is a custody case with many twist .

You mention that your attorney is telling you to go, which makes me think you are a party, however. If that's the case and you fail to appear, then the... Read more »
