Discovery Questions!

I just finished working on discovery questions for my divorce. Yes, I have been working on them for 11 hours now and only taking a break to go to the bathroom once and go to dinner a second time. The questions are so time consuming and might I add ridiculous. I'm being asked about jobs I had in high school. I'm not just talking about where I worked, I'm talking where I worked, how long I worked there, who my supervisor's were, address, phone number, pay rate, job title, work schedule, etc. HELLO! I graduated 11 years ago, therefore meaning I worked at those places almost 15 years ago in some cases. Not to mention the fact that I worked three jobs and went to high school, so there was a lot of over lapping. GEES! Oh and I love the questions about my monthly expenses and thrown in there is a question about how much I spend a month on liquor. Anyone who really knows me, knows I'm not a big drinker! I hardly, if ever, drink! They need to ask my ex that question! I have better and more important things to do with my time then to waste it on petty questions that mean nothing as to the well being of my daughter. How about asking her father a few questions pertaining to his living arrangements and why he can take his girlfriend out but he can't pay his child support. How about ask him why he wants to harrass me one minute and then try to be nice the next thinking it's going to get him somewhere! I'm really getting tired of this system we have. I filed a complaint with the child support office and was told I would be called in the next 6-8 weeks with an appointment with a case worker. It's been 9 weeks now and do you think I have heard a word? I realize there are a lot of dead beat dads out there, don't get me wrong, and I don't think I'm any better than anyone else, but if I'm told 6-8 weeks, I like it to be that! I'm just saying! Excuse me for rambling, but I have been working on these questions for hours and it is after midnight and I am very angry right now. In addition to these 28 questions, his attorney has also sent me a request for the production 18 documents. Documents that I have no clue how I am suppose to come up with because I don't know about you, but I shread things after about two years. She is asking for our joint bank account information. Well, I shredded all of that after the account was closed, why was I going to need that? Paystubs from 2004, again shredded except for the last two years. As for taxes I do keep the last 5 years of those, but the ex has them and refuses to produce them. Again, what do I do? This is the most annoying process I have ever gone through in my life and I beleive I will never marry again, for the simple possibility of divorce. I'm sure none of you want to here my complaining so I'm going to try to go to bed now. Please pray for me! I'm going to need all the prayers I can get!
