Re: family law/child support
No one, not even a lawyer can have direct communication with the judge in a case, outside of a hearing, when the other party is not present. Any letters sent to judges, besides cover letters accompanying orders, are not read by the judge, and usually filed in the court file. I would imagine that neither the other attorney or the judge are willing to risk their own careers over your case. You may have misunderstood the clerk. If you are still concerned, set a case management conference and explain your concerns to the judge in court.
