Thank you so much, very helpful. She has now served - via email, she is self representing. there was no body to the email to detail what it was that was being served and no acknowledgement of service, but sounds like that doesnt really matter anyway.
the documents are incomplete and do not include appendix she refers too, again, a minor.
i dont want the court date to be adjourned again, so i guess i should just accept that they have been served and attend next week as normal, maybe just mention in court that she has served incorrectly and incomplete documents. they dont seem to give a s**t about her not adhering to court orders , as she was 6 weeks later filing even though specific orders instructed a date they needed to be in by.... the late filing meant i couldnt respond.... (4 days prior to court) and the judge told me i was wrong for not replying!!!!! utter bulls**t really. but hey ho.....
another court date another kick in the teeth.
thanks for your advice.
