Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
failure to produce?
is there a law that states that once a lawyer asks the defendent to produce documentation and it is ignored for months,that he/she can make a motion before the court for 'delays and obstruction'? ( or something similar in terminology?)

Re: failure to produce?
That's a new term for me. If you file a notice to produce and if they don't answer, you can file a motion to essentially dismiss the case by suppressing all of their pleadings and defenses. Of course, this almost never happens and the Judge will just yell at them and order them to produce the documents. Your attorney should really be handling this for you.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your case.

A motion can be filed to compel the production of documents and records and imposing a daily fine upon the
recalcitrant party until the doucments
and records are produced.
