Further follow-up to my last Blogs

On the life insurance matter that I addressed over the past few days, I downloaded a Change of Beneficiary form from the life insurance company's website and FAXed it to the wife's attorney, suggesting that she forward the Change of Beneficiary Form to her client to sign and return to me. Whether the attorney does that remains to be seen.

I reminded the wife's attorney that I had initially sought to handle the matter via prompt cooperation rather than by CONTEMPT for violation of the ATROS, i.e, via conduct consistent with the cooperation addressed in Family Code Section 271 (which is authority for sanctions against a party for failure to reasonably cooperate). I asked that she act diligently in getting my client reinstated as the primary beneficiary of the wife's life insurance policy. I indicated that if the wife's attorney wishes to further continue the trial (she has requested that every time a hearing approaches), reinstating my client as primary beneficary of the life insurance policy is a prerequisite.

I will see what she does, but if the beneficiary designation documents are produced before the wife's attorney cooperates with my requests, I will again take the reins and steer the matter. not expecting cooperation from the wife's attorney.

I'm sure that more is to follow.
