What is the name of your state? Oregon
Observing a family law case in which neither side is getting key information to the Judge. Is there any way to provide facts to Judge?

Yes, don't expect to be able to speak to the issue in court.

File paperwork - the Judge will usu read everything that is filed (and it's a permanent part of the file).
Prior to each court hearing, a declaration can be filed, responding in detail to the specific issues before the court.

The situation is incredibke. I am watching a lawyer getting ready to rest a case in which millions of dollars are at stake and has been asking the other side for MONTHS for an accounting of marital assets used to buy propety NOT accounted for.

ALSO ... a simple online search has revealed a DOZEN lots purchased in the time the divorce has been going on which are NOT REVEALED to the court.

YET ... the lawyer has done nothing ... and CLOSING is hours away.

Can a non lawyer file this info with the judge??

Only a party to a lawsuit has 'standing' to submit info to the court.

Have you shared this info with the aggreived party ?
Why isn't their atty responding ?
There is usu a restraining order against both parties re communal monies moved during a divorce proceeding.....and the aggreived atty should scream loud & long.

The 'victim' should document the bad acts, in writing, to the atty. If the atty doesn't move to intercept the forbidden transactions & ID the money to the court, then the 'victim' should have a malpractice claim agin the atty.

The 'victim' can prepare a declaration under penalty of perjury & send to atty to prep for filing at court.

The only thing the atty may argue, is if any $ being moved is separate funds or not the party's $...

PS Thanks, Butterscotch, I think you have helped with your posts.
