Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Adequate time to be served for deposition
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am reopening my divorce by challenging my ex-wife on my visitation rights i have with my 7 year old daughter. Presently I have supervised visits and I am requesting to have unsupervised visits. I had a period of depression but now I have letters from my doctors claiming that I am now a hapy, functioning, productive mamber of society and no longer should have to have my ex show up on visits.
My question that outrages me is that my ex's attorney tried to serve me (by us postal service only) just two days prior to when she wanted to have a deposition of me. I felt this was inadequate time and gave me no notice to rearrange my life or to be able to miss work. She gave me less than two days and tried to intimidate me! I wrote a letter to the judge stating that I would not atend said deposition because I was not given adequae notice and this lawyer is trying to make me jump through hoops. Is she unreasonable and out of line as I am implyng?
Thank you.

Re: Adequate time to be served for deposition
It was a very bad move (and highly improper) to write the Judge, In fact such contact is not allowed unless it is served on the other party,. and if you worded it anything like your post, you likely sabotaged your case. It is extremeley dangerous to represent yourself in such cases. (Depending on other circumstances, the notice may have been reasonable, or may not have been, but your response was not the way to address it). A change of visitation is not a do-it-yourself project.
