Divorce

My son is divorcing. The wifes Atty requested Mandatory Disclosure. We each filled it out. On the wife she did give correst amount for mortgages, she only put one loan amt and not the other two. Also, my son filled out 35 ? Interrogatory questionaire, the wife has not doen so. What can done and what are consequences for Atty not demanding why form under oath is not the truth? Are you only allowed to go to mediation one time? if that 1st time you do not settle what law says you cannot go back again or come up with new offer? Need hepl ASAP.

Re: Divorce

The forms are used by the court to determine alimony and marital distribution. They must be filed out correctly. Your son needs to retain counsel. Good luck.

Re: Divorce

You bring up many issues. You can file a motion to compel if the other party does not provide what is mandatory to provide. You can have as many mediation session as both parties agree to have. But, if things don't seem to go well after a couple, I would say it's time to prepare for trial. If the other party clearly lied in any document, that can come out either at mediation (and anything can happen from there), in depositions, or when being examined at trial. Under the last two, if the other party continues to lie and you can prove it, that can constitute perjury. I agree that your son should try to retain an attorney. It seems his case is not going smoothly.
