reproduction of documents

[discjcky]

What is the name of your state? Ca

Can an attorney reproduce documents that have already been presented in front a judge, even after a hearing? There has not been a final judgement, and the opposing counsel keeps putting "evidence", which is over 7 years old, in front of the judge.
Can he legally do that?

Thank you

If it is relevant to the current situation YES.

It might have been during the trial, which was for the divorce. This is for visitation for a child. My husband is currently in supervised visitation because a child evalulator "recommended" and come to find out through the visitation monitors that they have stated before that he doesn't need the supervised and the report states alienating tactics on the moms behalf.
Her attorney continues to through something my husband had written to her back in 99 in front of the judge, way before the child was even a thought.
Due to the overwhelming reports from the supervision center and 2 psychologists reports her attorney will again through what he had written in the judge's face.
And that is why I asked whether he can do that .
Thank you!

Yes he can if no one is objecting to the relevance of the information. But you stated that there was NO FINAL judgment. But if they have been divorced legally then there was a final judgment.
Is your husband objecting to it? Is your husband introducting the supervision monitors as witnesses? The psychologists?

ok, it's killing me, what did he write....if it's that big that the lawyer wants to keep bringing it up then it could very well be a valid concern....

did mom know of this writing when it was written? or before she had kiddo?

His ex had told him to write down what he had wanted out of her. She has adhd so she claimed that it would be easier for her to understand. At that time, she would not allow him to even play with himself. She told him that men who do that are "having an affair with themselves", and threatened to leave him if he did.
In the letters, dated back in 99, he had let her know that he would like to start playing with himself when she wasn't in the mood. If you think about it, it isn't all that bad.
The child was born in 2003, so it was done some time in advance.
So, I don't really see why it would matter now. Her attorney, I think, is trying everything he can at this point.
All reports are being submitted as evidence.
Can we supona the monitors records from the visitation center? We aren't sure because it deals with a child.
The divorce is a "status only" with certain issues pertaing to child custody and visitation still open.

You can subpoena the Pope's private diary if you wish.

Whether you get what you want and if you get what you want is relevant, are entirely separate matters.

In judge-tried lawsuits, the GENERAL rule is that the judge will let in almost everything based on the premise that the judge can sort out the good from the bad (and that is a highly disputed premise; especially with the quality of some judges these days).

The reprots would be in his favor. It show alienation on the moms part. The child goes in and thell he biological father the "my other daddy says I don't have two daddies, and your not my real daddy".
That's just in one visit. Things like that happen all the time.
