Motion Filing Deadline

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ I'm in the process of divorcing my husband. There was a motion hearing 3 weeks ago and the judge allowed 30 days for financial documents to be turned over,if not a motion can be filed. The deadline is one week from today the attorney has not returned any phone calls,my husband has not turned over any documents to the forensic accounant I retained months ago nor did the expert he "engaged" receive the documents.I know once this window closesI probably won't get it reopened.A new lawyer would never be brought up to speed,hired and retained in time,not to mention all my $ is tied up in her.What to do?

Your attorney can file a motion to compel after the 28 days has expired if the other attorney has not presented the information.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
