Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Family Law question:

Ex was ordered to produce financial documents. The documents he provided are without a doubt fictitious. (Yes I can prove!)

I cannot morally justify going into mediation to discuss financial issues predicated on falsified financial documents.

What is the best way to let the court know of this issue?

Do I request mediation and then drop the bomb? File Civil Contempt first? Or is it best to appear before the Judge in Short Matters?

Thank you in advance for advise!

Raise the issue of bogus documents in whatever procedure involves the issue. It should

be raised in mediation, a hearing on a motion, trial, or whatever the proceeding. If you are

referring to documents produced related to his financial affidavit, you can raise the issue

whenever any issue is discussed such as child support, division of property and debts,

alimony, etc.

Go through all the documents in full then perhaps send out some subpoenas to confirm your suspicions. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659
