OK, my common sense is that a Notice of Change in Representation takes effect on the day you are served with it(by fax) or within 5 days of mailing one to you.
I got a fabulous fax last week from my ex, who has finally run out of money for his overpriced bulldog lawyer and is representing himself. The date on the bottom of the Notice is December 2nd 08. I received it last week.
My concern is that I sent requests for disclosure to his lawyer two or more weeks ago as per a judge's order and wonder if my ex will say he didn't get it.
My ex only will allow me to communicate with him via snail mail, no email or fax number is on his Notice so this makes it very difficult. I guess I can personally serve him now that he is his own lawyer but that would contradict the latest order made by a judge in january 08 that
states we can only communicate by email with one another unless it is an emergency regarding our child and then phone is ok.
What do I do? Do I drive all the way to the courthouse and ask, but the clerks there refuse to answer those questions for me as that is "legal advice". I am seeing a lawyer in a week or so for preparation for trial but if I need to send the docs again I need to do it now.
