His lawyer is trying to exhaust you and wear you down unnecessarily. 
your lawyer needs to protect you much more
You should NOT have to do paper copies of discovery. I assembled 3000+ pages of discovery, but it was all electronic. I basically downloaded all the bank, credit card, investment statements, and then merged in a PDF. And then did a simple index for my lawyer.  That was sufficient.
Also, your lawyer needs to stop the demands for last-minute meetings. He she should tell them you that meetings should be planned with a two week notice. 
I had to switch lawyers midstream because my first one wasn’t strong/strategic enough, and was only focused on billing me. It was difficult but worth it.

Also rely more heavily on family and friends, even if they have to fly in for a weekend to help  my mom would come in and watch my kids for a full weekend while I spent 48 hours straight on discovery gathering. I also remember working one weekend straight and memo for pre-trial when my husband withdrew our settlement agreement right before court.

Also, it is really OK if your kids see the struggle you’re going through and you tell them the basics of what’s happening. 
Divorce is a severely unfair process, but you have to stay strong against bad actors. [/quote]
