Re: right of a lawyer
Yes, you do. Your petition started a legal action. The other side is entitled to discovery (you are as well). If your ex is going to be represented, I suggest you consider hiring an attorney as well. You do not want to be at a disadvantage as you do not get to go back to court under the argument that you lost because you didn't have represention...
