Help

I am in a custody dispute and the opposing party wants a deposition. she simply wants the following all which have nothing to do with my child or the case. I am in a relationship with a physician. the opposing party wants me to simply prove that this man exsists by having me present photos of him, a copy of his drivers licsense, present all gifts, cards and letters from him, copy of a voided check with his address on it, and a copy of a bill with his address on it. what the hell? this man doesn't want to get invoved in this nor does he or i want my ex to have this information. my b/f is not a factor in my childs life what so ever. what can i do? can i object to goiong and giving this information?

You can refuse to give it.

She then has to ask the judge to decide to enforce the request or not and it sounds as if a judge would not enforce that request.

Thank you soooo very much for your help

you were right!!! i refused to produce the documents she asked for and the magistarate sent out an order saying i didn't have to. thanks!

OK, even though your situation is resolved I want to address something you said.

Your boyfriend is indeed a factor in your child's life simply by the fact that he is in your life.

ok i can understand that, but what are you trying to tell me? do i need to be careful? my ex has a g/f who is more a part of my childs life than my b/f. he is a physician and works alot and we aren't "real serious". any suggestions or warnings about questions i may encounter and such? thanks for your reply i appreciate you time.

You always need to be careful with your children. Boyfriends and girlfriends of separated parents do become a factor in the child(ren)'s lives. What type of factor they will be depends on what type of people they are. My suggestion is whenever you begin dating someone, never take them to your home when your kids are around at first. Make sure you get to know this person very well before introducing them to your kids. Also make sure you are honest with them about your kids. Make sure you find out what this person's attitude is regarding kids.
And always remember.... no matter how much you might end up loving this new person in your life your kids should always come first.
