Legal Question in Family Law in California
I don't know if this is a usual game of "gotcha" that Lawyer's play with each other....I am a Self-Represented Litigant (because of lack of funds and Spousal Support) and my ex has an Attorney and the day before (today the 23rd of Apr 2013) the Hearing tomorrow the 24th of Apr 2013, his Attorney served me via mail (I have to have papers served)an edited "Income and Expense Declaration" and a "Points and Authorities Regarding Interpretation of Order/Arrears" consisting of more fabrication and perjured statements yet by Respondent. My question: What do I do tomorrow? Do I verbally respond to the newest batch of documents to the Court or do I respond with another form and hand it to the Judge and Respondent at the Hearing or what? (This Court Hearing is in regards to "Spousal Support").

My strong suggestion is that you ask the judge for a continuance so that your can respond to the papers that you just received and so that you can consult an attorney.
