I'm a year into the divorce.

My ex's attorney (and her office) have a reputation as schisters (other attorneys in the area described them that way, so that should say something) and they're living up to that reputation.

My ex makes ridiculous requests or demands, stuff that's already been covered, etc. things that her attorney should be advising her about.

Instead of advising my ex that the shit is ridiculous, not legal, etc., her attorney writes it all down and sends it to my attorney, who is then legally obligated to get a response from me, so that I can tell my attorney I know it's bullshit, not legal, whatever, and he then tells her attorney what all three of us (me and the two attorneys) already know.

Obviously, the attorneys are charging the two of us for all of this.

I'm asking my attorney to request a bifurcated divorce and get a trial date set, waiting on a response.

But, in the meantime, is there anything I can do or say that might get my ex's attorney to at least reduce the amount of bullshit that she relays over?

I know her attorney knows better, and my ex is clueless and incapable of making decisions (I know this from experience but I've also had friends of her tell me that since the divorce started), and I could tell early in in the process that her attorney recognized that, is taking advantage of it and milking my ex for everything she can.

But, of course, it also affects me and, ultimately, our son in the long run.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
