Customer: My wife and I filed an uncontested divorce 6 months ago. She has since hired an attorney and he has filed some complaints that have created orders without a hearing. In the complaint there is a lot of misinformation and lies, other than filing a response and request for hearing, what recourse do I have regarding the use of misinformation?

Hello, I'm Attorney Matt. I'll do my best to help you navigate your situation with your divorce. Let's work together to explore your legal options moving forward.
Can you tell me what type of complaints and orders the attorney has filed?
Since you may be offline or unavailable at the moment, let me provide some helpful information. You can always ask a follow-up question.

Here are some steps you can take in Michigan if your spouse's attorney has filed complaints containing misinformation that led to court orders without a hearing:1. File a Motion to Set Aside or Modify the Orders.
2. Request Discovery.
3. Consider filing a Motion for Sanctions if appropriate.
4. Amend Your Complaint or Counterclaims.
5. Subpoena Evidence.
6. Seek a Pretrial Conference.
7. Prepare for a Hearing or Trial.
8. Consult with Your Own Attorney.Remember, focus on providing evidence to disprove false claims, act promptly, and maintain professionalism throughout the process.

Let me know if you need further assistance or have any questions!

Best regards,

Attorney Matt

far he has filed motions for parenting time as I planned to move out of our marital home and then a second motion for continue to pay for the marital assets like the home and not place it for sale. I planned on doing this as we were supposed to be divorced 1.6.25 but she hired this attorney just a few weeks ago.
It sounds like this divorce is no longer uncontested. Since your spouse’s attorney is aggressively advocating for her, hiring your own attorney could help balance the scales. They can counter these tactics, ensure the motions are properly addressed, and keep the process moving toward resolution.

If the divorce was initially uncontested and set to be finalized on 1/6/25, you can argue that the delay is prejudicial to you. Request the court to maintain the original timeline or expedite proceedings to prevent undue financial or emotional strain. Since orders have been entered without a hearing, request one to address the motions and present your side of the case. You are entitled to have your arguments heard before decisions are made.
