Are there pre-trial hearings in modification of time sharing cases?

Asked 6 months ago - Fort Myers, FL

My brother is going thru this with his ex wife. Neither of of them have attorneys, she filed the petition. They have a trial for the first week of Jan, in front of Judge Adams in Lee County. How much time before the trial does he need to request her witness list, and other evidence she plans on using against him?

Pre-trial conferences are almost always required before any kind of trial in Florida. At the conference, the judge usually announces these deadlines. In the meantime, you might want to take her deposition or send interrogatories and ask her what her evidence is and who her witnesses are.
