Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

If you are appearing pro se (representing yourself), you will still need to comply with all of the discovery obligations contained in the Rules for Domestic Relations Procedures. [ They can be found at lawlib.state.ma ] as well as the Standing Orders and Supplemental Rules of the Probate and Family Court (which can also be found on the Massachusetts Law Library Website) as well as the Uniform Practices (also on the site).

You should check the request against Rule 410 (http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/source/mass/rules/probate/srpc410.html) and detemine if you are in compliance with the disclosure as well as whether her attorney is.

If the other party has retained counsel, it is advisable that you also retain counsel.

You are required to provide all discoverable information requested by the other side, and consistent with the rules of discovery, rules of civil procedure, and rules of the probate and family court.
