Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
My husband and I took out a restraining order last week (with a court date next week)against his ex wife for harrassment. She emails and calls him at work several times a week with NO good reason. He has blocked her from calling his cell phone, but cant bock the calls from work. They have an 11 year old daughter together and have been divorced for 7 years. After the restraining order was served, she went to the attorney she used for the divorce to try to counter. He sent my husband a fed ex today that is requesting all the documentation that we have to provide to the judge on the court date. Are we obligated to send this info to her lawyer?

It depends on what the documents are that he sent you. If the documents are a subpoena or a request for production of documents arising out of an action filed by the ex, then most likely, yes, you are required to send this info over to her lawyer. HOWEVER, BEFORE you send anything to her lawyer, I would STRONGLY recommend that you hire your own lawyer to represent you and your husband, provide you with legal advice as to what, if any, information and documentation you must turn over to the other side, etc. I know if may be costly, but you want to get this right the first time and your chances of success increase significantly when you have a lawyer representing you.

I assume that you did not, given the history you gave, file a case without counsel. Disputes between ex's with kids are not do it yourself projects.
You should be speaking to your attorney not posting online.
A normal consequence of suing someone is discovery. The failure to answer discovery can result in not only dismissal of your case but monentary sanctions or in a handful of cases, jail. But some discovery may be legally objectionable. Your lawyer will help you determine what and how to answer, and when.
