Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have a hearing on February 23. My wife stole my kids and took them across state lines and have hid them from me for 9 months. I have submitted 200 pages of journal notes, certified letters and emails. I have more supporting evidence to submit but it is past the 16 days of disclosure rule. Can I submit exhibits at the hearing, how and what is the procedure.

Yes you can exchange documents at the hearing, however the other side or the judge can claim tha there was a lack of notice and exclude them, or if it is important enough they may continue the hearing so that the other party can respond do the documents. That would be up to the discretion of the court.
Kidnapping cases can be complex and highly charged, so you should consult with a local attorney prior to going to the hearing to advise you on how best to advance your interests.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
