Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have a custody/visitation case with my ex-boyfriend. We put in a final order for custody and visitation in February 2009. A judge suspended his visits in June 2010 due to a police investigation into sexual abuse our daughter said happened. Now he has a bulldog of a lawyer who has now sent me "Standard Family Law" interrogatories and a Request to Produce.

The questions in this interrogatory seem to be geared completely towards financial issues that would dealt with during a divorce case (education, degrees, finances, assets, checking accounts, etc). Since we were never married, therefore not dividing marital and non-marital assets,, are these questions which I am required to answer?

Based on your described facts, you have been given standard interrogatories and request to produce used in a divorce case. If the question or the requested document is irrelevant, you may decline to answer or produce the document. Of course, this is not specific legal advice to a client because your detailed situation is not known. If he persists, you may have to explain this to a judge, but you have the right. Therefore, you should consider discussing these issues in detail with a family law attorney in order to be properly represented and protect your rights.
