What is the penalty for disobeying the court?

[blessedman1333]

At Divorce Pre-Trial, Judge says "TRIAL SET 9-2-09 @ 9:00 AM. COURT ORDERS PARTIES TO FILE PTFD 10 DAYS PRIOR TO TRIAL. EACH WITNESS LIST & EXHIBITS 20 DAYS PRIOR TO TRIAL If my wife's attorney has not turned in the witness & exhibit list to court within the 20 days, what is the penalty? -

It's probably up to the judge. I would not be surprised if there was no penalty, but the trial date was moved back to accomodate. You might get some costs awarded to you.

Thanks, and when filling out the (PTFD) Pre Trial Financial Disclosure, do I list marital property, only, or both marital and separate property?

I don't know the rules in your jurisdiction, but you probably have to list both your separate and marital property. Doesn't the form itself say? Or you could ask your court clerk.
