Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
SO.... I'm in a custody battle... I had to hire an attorney and we just filed my counter petition and answer... my lawyers secretary SERVED my ex/the petitioner copies of my 11.1 and 11.2 confidential information/source documents with my SSN, Employee ID and bank acct numbers... I recieved a copy of what was served upon the court, and my ex, and immediately called my attorneys office, left a message and she didn't answer. So I stopped in there before work today wondering WHY that happened... She basically told me it was an accident and asked me if I was worried he'd do something with that information. I am extremely furious and concerned about using this firm to represent me if they were able to do something so absolutely wrong. I understand people make mistakes, but they just gave my ex, someone who hates me, all of my most confidential information, ON a confidental court document. Is there anything I can do about this?? Please!

First, what they did is not absolutely wrong. Anything filled with the court is served on the other party. It is confidential in that it is not a public record. Your attorney's actions were entirely correct.
Second, the information is also discoverable as part of the case.
