Hi all and thanks in advance for any help.
Does the court actually read the subpoena requests when requested by a lawyer? I am of the knowledge that self reps have a harder time when requesting subpoenas.
I have just noticed via the portal that the OP lawyer has requested subpoenas to the police, docs and the childrens school.
I dont have a problem with this except the information that is being sought is very wide ranging and also very long in time ( all information since 2011).
It also is seeking information on both parties, both parties partners, plus the children.
For example the request from the police basically states anything and everything that includes the names of the above are to be produced, including traffice offenses, being a witness etc.
Surely that would be seen by the court as a fishing exercise in order to try and find anything that may strengthen their case. I have nothing to hide so Im not bothered but it still feels an invasion of privacy to ask for such wide ranging information.
Im a self rep, but after 2 hearings in court , the OP's legal team have gained no ground and a Child Inclusive Conference was very one sided. The children in question are 13 and 14 and their views are quite strong and consistent.
Im starting to feel like its their last chance is to find out anything in my or my parnters past that may help them.
Surely the Judge would see right through this?
