Legal Question in Family Law in California
we had one trial already, and we were to go into court for a second, but we stipulated to the agreement and placed the trial into hold or something, and now, a year later I filed an OSC for motion to gain joint legal and my primary visitation rights back. But his attorney said he is no longer an attorney of record, but no stipulation for substitution was ever filed in California, San Joaquin County, then the judge said he didnt need to file one to not be on the case any longer. Is that true, because no stipulation ever got filed and his attorney was served 3 days prior to the ordered ten days prior i was told to serve so 13 days, then he sent me a letter and would not return even one call from me, and the judge said, I failed to serve the adverse party, and put it over for another over a month. Causing me to loose my spring visitation. Does he have to file or give me notice or something that he is no longer represented by that attorney?
