Can an Opposing Party Request Discovery on Two Cases at the Same Time?
I’m involved in two cases in California with the same person. The other party had written discovery sent to me addressed to the wrong court with the wrong filing date. The attorney told me that it was for their lawsuit. I responded, because I didn’t want a Motion to Compel showing that I didn’t answer anything. With every response I stated that I was unclear which court it was for and answered for what could be answered in either of our cases and objected to responses that did not relate to both cases. Some of the questions look more like they are trying to obtain information for the other case. I don’t know if it’s even valid discovery that they sent since it was addressed to the wrong court (wrong county) with an inaccurate filing date. Can they succeed on a Motion to Compel?

Who is Responsible for Payment for Court Ordered Therapy DSS or the Child’s Legal Guardians? What Can I do to Receive Payment?
I am a psychotherapist with a private practice. I recently started treating a minor who is presently in the custody of the Dept. of Social Services (DSS). The therapy was court-ordered and the supervising case worker in charge was given my name by a colleague. DSS hired me to work with the minor. They informed me that I would be paid partly by the biological parents’ insurance and the remainder by the parents. However, DSS did sign a general contract I use in my practice, which does stipulate responsibility of payment. The biological parents’ lawyer advised the parents not to agree to payment, as the therapy was court ordered and DSS was the legal guardian. Two months have passed and DSS is now telling me that they cannot pay me. What are my options and how do you recommend I proceed?
After Hiring an Attorney, I was Told that wouldn’t be able to Access Information Regarding my Case, Is this True?
I’m being told that once I hire an attorney to represent me, I give up my right to access to information regarding my case, unless he disseminates the information to me, or gives his permission for me to have access to the information. Is this true?
