Hi,
My ex has initiated a financial claim in the Family Court, and has requested disclosure of a number of documents (a lot of which I have previously provided through lawyers when we first separated 18 months ago). I am happy to provide the requested documents, but have also requested that she provide a list of documents to me.
My problem is that at this stage I am representing myself due to financial circumstances. Through her current lawyer, she is stating that she will only provide the requested documents that she has not already provided through former solicitors. Is she legally obliged to provide these documents again/is there a way I can get her to provide them, or do I have to track them down through my lawyer who no longer represents me? Also, if this is the case, am I able to also advise she do the same in regards to the documents I have previously provided?
Thanks in advance.
