Legal Question in Family Law in California

"Legal" normally refers to whether something is a criminal act or not. You are asking really if it is proper or normal. If the attorney has good cause to not want to receive your messages, then he/she can propose what they are willing to do and if that is not what you want you can fire them. What he is saying is that you are a pain in the neck,and he does not want to spend any more time with you that absolutely necessary.

It certainly is not ethical. California Rules of Professional Conduct provides that "A member shall keep a client reasonably informed about significant developments relating to the employment or representation, including promptly complying with reasonable requests for information and copies of significant documents when necessary to keep the client so informed."
