Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

My family is current involved in a child custody case in Baltimore, MD. The other party's lawyer has filed a Discovery document (rule 3-421) to us to obtain information on a number of details pertaining to our defense and offense on the case. The discovery document, however, was not signed by a judge nor was it delivered also to the court (It states this within the document). Do we have to answer this without a court order?

Yes, you have to answer without a Court order. The discovery document does NOT have to be signed by the Court. It sounds like you do not have an attorney representing you in the custody case -- BAD IDEA. Your chances of success are much great with an attorney.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
