Will she submit discovery today?

For a few of those that might have seen my last two posts, here is an update. The answers to the latest post was no, she did not submit her discovery yesterday, but as someone wisely pointed out, yesterday was MLK day and technically a holiday. This person was smarter than my lawyer who wasn’t aware of this, but knowing my STBX (who I’ll call my ex because I can no longer stomache referring to this woman as my wife) she will absolutely take advantage of the plausible deniability, so I no longer expected to get it yesterday. It is however due today.

So today’s question is will she submit her discovery on time? (as I’m not going to do a daily update if she doesn’t)

Please note that this woman filed a motion to compel the very next day after the due date that I didn’t have my full discovery in. Also please note that I had to provide over 1700 pages of documents. What we are asking of her can’t be more than 100 pages, unless she was a much better and pathological liar than I am aware of. I provided some of my discovery before the due date, I own a business and she was asking for much more than I am asking of her. She also filed for contempt when I didn’t get every last thing to her, and it was only prior to this hearing that I finally was able to complete what she was requesting. It is almost 3:30 local time and I have yet to receive anything. Also note she has not yet provided anything in this case. As someone else wisely pointed out yesterday, if I could do this over I wouldn’t have provided mine until she provided hers.

I will update this when I either receive something or my lawyer decides what to do next.

I should also note I am really hoping for her to lie about cohabitation, All I’m really interested in is her updated FDS as she has since had a baby w her AP, and I’ve since been able to find rock solid evidence that they are living together. Also I want to note I am paying her temp maintenance now and she is asking for an additional 48 months in the Divorce. If she is cohabitating, it changes everything about our situation. This is the only reason I care about any of this.

So I talked to my lawyer and they had until the end of the day. I emailed him at around 530 (it’s now 815) and told him I want him to file a MTC tomorrow morning. He’s not very responsive, but I’m not used to these kinds of cases. I have threatened to fire him before when he agreed with OC for me to do a deposition in person in OCs office.

I should give context that OC is the worst lawyer in my area. Normally that would be great (for me) in a divorce case but in my case she’s so bad, she put the idea in my spouses head that she’s going to get all this money. My spouse is not on the deed, mortgage or utilities and never contributed a penny towards the mortgage. I owned the home jointly w my father for 15.5 years before she got married, in fact when I bought the home she was a sophomore in HS, and we didn’t get married until she was 30, for context. So if there ever was a case where a “marital” home would be considered separate property it may be this one. But let’s say she wins, and the house is half hers, well I only own half. If her lawyer was any good, she would have made it clear to my wife of her best case scenario and advised her that she is not going to get all of the value of my home when she did not contribute anything to the mortgage payment, and I owned the home way before I knew who she was. Her offer to me was based on if I own 100% of the home, (and she thinks I do, because as I said my father and I had a handshake deal when I bought him out), AND she’s getting half of the equity I have in it from the beginning. I do own 100% of the home, but on paper I only own half and there’s nothing I can do about it in a courtroom. The funniest part about that whole thing is her cousin is the Register of Deeds in our county and all it would have been is a signature to put her name on the title.
