I was recently served legal documents in a family law matter that included personnel file documents from my former employer from 7 years ago. Is my employee record supposed to be accessible in that way by my former employer.
Served what "legal documents"? What sort of "family law matter"? A divorce case? What "personnel file documents" did it include? What does "accessible in that way by my former employer" mean? Obviously, your former employer has complete and unfettered access to its own records relating to your employment. Based on your post #3 in this thread, it sounds like the father of your children now works for your former employer and, as such, has access to your employment file. Is that correct?
The document was used in a case completely unrelated to my employment with my former employer and has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
Used how? If the document was, in fact, "used in [the] case," then it would seem to be a necessary inference that the judge in that case disagreed with your position that the document "has nothing to do with the matter at hand." If the judge agreed with you, then he/she would not have allowed the other party to "use" the document.
I'm pretty sure it was subpoenaed for the fact that he doesnt have a lawyer.
If your employment file was subpoenaed and you failed to move to quash the subpoena, then your ex's access to the documents in your personnel file for potential use in your case was almost certainly legal.
I do not believe subpoenaed them
Well...which is it? Previously (in post #3 in the thread) you wrote that you are "pretty sure it was subpoenaed."
He submitted an old write up i recieved 7 years ago for dropping the f bomb, in our domestic violence case probably to try and show that dont always use the right choice of words.
Did the court make a ruling based, to any degree, on this?
By the way, are you represented by counsel in this case? If so, have you discussed this issue with him/her?
