Hubby went to serve lawyer on record yesterday with motion material. He declined service stating: this is a new matter and I've not been retained for it. Lawyer nor client has completed a change in representation form. This is also not a new matter. Same court file number and a motion to change only.
Hubby went back and served him anyways. Then had a friend serve the ex wife as well. Ex wife said in an email the day before that she had instructed her lawyer to forward all info to her and otherwise "had no legal representation any more".
What am I missing? Lawyer is still on record. He has not removed himself. While we served them both - how do we know who to continue to serve documents (costly and timely to do both). And how do we know if she is self rep'd now? We don't trust this lawyer. Court is in just over a week for the stupid holiday weekends she can't cooperate and follow the SA....
