Dear Attorneys,
I have a divorce pending and my soon-to-be-ex-wife is just not cooperating. She won’t provide me with any documentation, she won’t file an appearance, but my motion for default was denied. I’m not really sure what to do.
Sincerely,
Waiting Willie
Dear Waiting,
If your spouse is not cooperating, you may want to consider filing a motion to compel. A motion to compel, if granted, will force her to comply with whatever the court deems necessary (for example, exchanging financial production or filing an appearance in accordance with the Practice Book). That way, if she is ordered to provide it to you and she does not, you may then have a contempt remedy and can even consider re-filing a motion for default if she is still uncooperative.
