My dad's Succession (over 2 years now) is being stalled by an ex-family member whose attorney continues to come up with baseless claims to the estate (that we prove false every step of the way). He then files oppositions to nearly every document we file to end the Succession. Last document he filed was a Petition absolutely filled with absurd claims causing us to have to go to trial. We have hard evidence against these claims and plan to use it in the trial, which was scheduled for 8 months later. Now, 2 months from the trial, he has filed an opposition to the trial date claiming that his client does not have enough time for Discovery for claims made in his own Petition. So now we have to have a hearing on this new opposition. Will a judge (based on our attorney's documentation) see this as a stalling tactic and allow us to go to trial on the orginally set date? Obviously, these monkey shines are not fun or funny. How long will a judge tolerate these kinds of machinations?
Thanks.What is the name of your state?
