Or rather, can I request Interim Distribution for return of Separate Property at the Status Conference?
No, you would have to file a separate motion for interim distribution and return of separation property. When you are at the status conference the case coordinator may be able to give you a date that is available for the hearing.

My stbx has not yet responded to me with her Initial Disclosure, etc. It looks as if she will not respond within 30 days, as required by local rules. If she does not, can I address that at the staus conference, or can I file a motion for the stbx to be sanctioned?
The appropriate action would be to file a motion to compel and ask the court to issue an order requiring that these documents be produced.

So, I have filed a motion for Interim Distribution and a Motion to Compel. My stbx has retained an attorney, and I have finally received something from them, a motion for interim allocation and attorney’s fees. The request for legal fees seems odd to me, given that I am going Pro Se. All of the allegations set forth in the motion are, at the least, misleading, if not entirely inaccurate. I can produce documents to show the court their allegations are untrue. However, it would help greatly if I have her financial disclosures, etc. How can they ask for interim allocation and attorney’s fees when I haven’t even been served with her financial disclosures and inventory? Doesn’t that prejudice me? Also, her attorney just mailed the motion with no file number on it, and didn’t include a Notice of Hearing or Calendar Request? Have I been properly served?
If her attorney has not served a Notice of Hearing then that means it is probably not on the court calendar. Filing a motion does not mean it is automatically heard. If their motion is scheduled prior to the hearing then you should bring up to the court that you have not received their financial disclosures.

I also noticed that it wasn’t notarized. The attorney who wrote it has gone on 10 week sabbatical. When I spoke to another one of the attorneys in that firm in court this morning about the incompleteness of the document, he just snipped, “Tell it to the Judge.” He doesn’t even work in the area of Family Law, and he seemed to be hoping for some kind of leniency from the Judge because of this. I won’t post about the Judge’s order in the Interim Distribution hearing this morning, but I have to think that my stbx is going to come out worse in the long run due to what she she argued for today. What exactly happens at a Status Conference? I seriously doubt that she will serve me with her Financial Disclosure and ED Inventory before the status conference next Tuesday.
Not all motions need to be notarized. At the status conference the court will discuss upcoming deadlines in the case and discuss the dates by which certain events must occur.

I have already filed an ED complaint, and have a date for the status conference. I am going to be serving the Inital Disclosure and ED Inventory in the next day or two. How do I file a motion for Interim Distribution?
