If you have a restraining order on you and are going through a divorce, are you legally okay to talk to the spouse's lawyer?
Question Details:
My father was blindsided by my mother who got a restraining order on him under false statements. He now has to pay all the bills for the house, while her new boyfriend lives there with her. He wants to end this divorce quickly and would like to talk to her lawyer about settling everything. He has been to numerous lawyers and they all are just stringing him along. It is horrible what is happening.
Your father can discuss settlement with your mother's attorney. However, he would be wise to retain an attorney to represent him in this matter. He has the right and obligation to the disclosure of property that he or she may know about. Also the fact that your mother is cohabiting with a man raises a presumption that she has a reduced need for spousal support.
Great question, and the answer is NO!
He can only go through an atorney to deal with her, not you, not a friend, nobody else,
Any direct or indirect action will cause him to be criminally charged, however innocent the act.
