What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hello, My childs mothers attorney has sent me sanctions. I do not have an attorney. Do I respond to these sanctions in writing and turn them into the court clerk before the next court date, or do I wait til the court date and present my responses then? I also have evidence contradicting what is said in the sanctions, If I do have to present my response before the court date, do I also include the evidence or do I present that on the court date? Thank you for your help.

What do you mean "sent you sanctions?" The court orders sanctions, the attorney makes a motion for them.

Sorry about that, what I recieved from the attorney was his motion and a list of reasons that the motion be granted. Am I supposed to give my response in writing before the next court date, or wait and bring them into court with me, along with any evidence I have to dispute the allegations? I apologize for the miscommunication. Thank You.

Prepare your response, have a third party serve it and file it with the proof of service.

Note: If you're going to proceed on this case pro per, you had BETTER get familiar with all of the laws involved. This is not a question that should have to be asked when you're knee deep in a lawsuit and there's an attorney on the other side.

OK I will do that. Thank you. Just one more question, do you have any suggestions on where I can get the information to better educate myself regarding the laws? I have no choice, I need to do this myself. Thank You.
