Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex's attorney reopened our divorce case by filing a motion for clarification - basically he wanted the state court to define certain debts as non-domestic for use in my ex's Ch. 13 bankruptcy case. The federal judge already ruled that the debts were domestic. I filed a motion objecting to the motion for clarification, and several other original motions, i.e., Motion for Contempt/Enforcement for back child support, not paying equitable distribution debts, not observing telephonic visitation while the children are in his care, etc. It has been more than 20 days since the last one was filed, and I faxed a letter to his attorney two weeks ago asking which motions his client was going to stipulate to (if any) and asking to reconcile our calendars to schedule a hearing for the remaining. I haven't heard a peep from opposing counsel, and he has not filed any objections. So, do I file motions for default and start drafting orders for the judge to sign off on? Not really sure what my next move is.

try setting hearings on your motions otherwise they will just sit in the file.
