Thanks can you tell me where you know this from not being funny but need facts so I don't trip up lol

Just general knowledge; sorry I can't quote what law. I'm in the US. But I assume it's the same everywhere: whatever a lawyer is privy to, either party in a lawsuit is entitled to see too. You do want to see it, just in case you ate some food with slight drug characteristics, such as poppy seeds.

You are representing yourself? I have been through a divorce once, and been with two other couples, in court, when they were separated and divorced. It's my opinion that you need a lawyer representing you; Please don't represent yourself... there are too many loopholes you don't know. Good luck.
