Legal Question in Family Law in California

preliminary declaration of disclosure

My attorneys made an initial request PDOD ,09/02/06. Spouses attorney's denied receiving request. Did not Receive PDOD until 06/02/2007.Spouse filed Chaper7Bk Sept 20.Looking at original proof of service case number provided by my attorney was wrong , names right. My spouse is being represented by his brothers law firm in both divorce and Bk. His debt went from$15,000 to $130,000 at Bk filing.I am destitute and living at my friends house. I am left with debt only. His lawyers have used numerous custody issues to allow marital estate to be depleted. Assets were $195,000 plus two businesses , now gone. I have an upcoming support trial and want to know how I can introduce this information to the judge without his attorneys raising numerous objections objections. They claim no debts can be brought up because these have been already litigated once in his BK discharge which is still awaiting Trustee's report. His Personal credit card debt went from $15,000 DOS to over $120,000 at Bk filing.

Re: preliminary declaration of disclosure

The court will want to know why it's relevant. If you can show that it is, then it will likely be admitted. You might use it to support a request for attorney fees, but I am not even sure about that. Of course if you don't have an attorney, then your attorney fees are obviously not an issue.
