What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida, but case occurred in Louisiana
In my fiance's recent custody battle over his child against his mother (child's paternal grandmother), her attorney did a number of unethical things. The only one that affected me, however, was the interrogatories he served upon my fiance'. The interrogatories asked a number of personal questions about me, including my bank account information, personal assets (credit cards, loans, etc.), and my place of employment and annual salary.
It is my understanding that it is illegal for an attorney to ask in interrogatories questions that violate the privacy of a third party. Is this correct?
I don't wish to sue, but if he did break the law, I do want to report him to the state's disciplinary counsel. Since I was not a party to the proceedings, and not even married yet to my fiance', I don't see how he could have not been violating at least the board's code of ethics. Any advice is appreciated.
