Now, why would Liz file a hearing where one party is not present and has not been given notice of the application before the court; usually reserved for urgent cases?

Why does Liz want my attorney urgently, secretly disqualified?  Liz has two attorneys, and I think it is a huge red flag that she doesn't even want me to have one.

This one really takes the cake!
