Can I talk to his attorney?

This is an offshoot of a previous question. I have an open case to modify child support with a temp order in place and a next hearing date of 11/8. I initiated the case through child support enforcement. I do not have a private attorney, but my ex does. May I communicate directly with his attorney given that I do not have private representation to try to settle some issues regarding expenses outside of court or os that forbidden? Thanks in advance!

You can initiate contact to the opposing party’s lawyer. The attorney for Child Support Enforcement represents the Department of Social Services and not necessarily you.
