Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Re: 3rd party custudy

No, not necessarily. You do not have a legal right to know what the other person told his/her lawyer, nor what the lawyer told the client. That is what "privileged and confidential communication" between lawyer and client is all about.

However, information that the lawyer has acquired that is not protected by the attorney-client privilege of confidential communications and that is not otherwiwe within the scope of "attorney work product" (legal research done by the lawyer, development of case strategies and planning, notes of witness interviews, etc.) is "discoverable" through the appropriate pre-trial discovery procedures spelled out in the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure.

Suggestion to consider: Hire a lawyer. For you to represent yourself in a case in which the other party has a lawyer is extremely foolish.
