Ex not served court papers on time, to ask for it to be dismissed?

[user1496231209]

Following on from all my other posts about my deluded ex and the suffering he's put me through. Today was the deadline ordered by the court for him to serve his allegations regarding domestic abuse against me for his application for a non-molestation order.

The judge was not happy about the vagueness in his initial application and the lack of any evidence. However, just as I thought it hasn't turned up (probably because he can't substantiate any of his initial lies).

On this basis, could I ask for his application to be dismissed? The next court hearing isn't until February which is in regards to our daughter.

"On this basis, could I ask for his application to be dismissed?"

No, this isn't your role and will have little to no bearing on your case.

Give it a go but IME courts give people an enormous amount of leeway.

The one bright spot I'd give you to focus on is that if they keep doing it, it will catch up with them.

Thanks girls, this man has put me through hell and back and im clinging onto the hope that with this they might just chuck it out altogether. It was clear they didn't believe his allegations from the first hearing or it would have been granted.

Deadlines set by courts seem to often be very fluid when it comes to information being provided

In most court processes it is very common for things like statements, documents that are disclosed etc to be served late and in divorce proceedings forms about finances - Form E etc. It toes not normally mean you can get the case dismissed but if his deadline is pushed back then any that then follows on you if you have a time after that to put in any counterin evidence to his should be extended in exchange for his delay.
