Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

My ex wife's lawyer sent a discovery request on 6/20/23. We had mediation 6/12/23 and 6/14/23 and settled the custody modification outside of court. Do I still have to answer and send the discovery request back to her lawyer since mediation took care of the modification?

If you needed your car's transmission rebuilt - would you ever even think to do it yourself if you aren't a mechanic - let alone actually attempt it. Of course not - that would be just plain stupid. Attempting to do your own legal work even if you are an attorney - is even stupider as you likely have better odds of getting the rebuild right (at least there are manuals for that). Anyhoo, as to your question, without knowing more, based on what you have provided, all we can say with any meaningful degree of certainly is maybe you do maybe you don't - with possibly slightly more odds on maybe you don't. Do yourself a favor and hire an attorney before you screw things up worse than you likely already have..
