What is the name of your state? California
I will start off by saying that my case has two elements to it. First, I have a restraining order on my ex. This restraining order has been in effect since July 2005 and will expire in Aug 2008. there are currently criminal charges pending, suppose to go to trial on July 15, 2008 all stemming from the restraining order. My ex (or would be ex) is a disbarred lawyer who has served time for embezzlement, that is why he lost his license to practice. Anyway, he is very controlling and to a point that I am scared for my life (hence the restraining order). He has an indictment to stand trial for burglary of my apartment, stalking, terrorizing and petty theft. the restraining order was for domestic violence, but it was not physical (yet). Anyway, he bled me dry in Family court so now I am representing myself and having a very hard time. I am suppose to go in for the second part of a deposition on Wednesday. My question is, questions are being asked that directly relate to the criminal matter and I have refused to answer them. Do I have a right to refuse to answer, I feel he is using this to get info on me about the criminal matter. I am the victim in the criminal matter. Any way there is a lot more but I thought I would start here. We also have 2 kids...
