Opposing Council In Appeals Case Says They Bought The Court Transcript First And I Have To Pay Them $600+. Are They Correct They Are Allowed To Refuse To Submit It?

Location: Williamson County, Tennessee

This is an ongoing unfortunate family feud. This woman sued another family member for a similar issue a couple years ago. When they appeals, they for a record of the session (for free as far as I know), made their own transcript then submitted it.

For my case, there was somewhere there typing so I assumed the court just had a reporter this time. I was never asked about sharing cost for a reporter and didn’t even know the civilians were the ones that hired them. Well, I got a notice that I hadn’t submitted a transcript in time. I called and said I had assumed there just was one and was waiting for to be sent. She gave me the reporters number who said the other side hired her and thus she couldn’t share it. I contact opposing council who seem to be saying they now own both the audio and the written transcript. They will only give me a copy if I pay +$600. I’m less upset about not having access to the audio so I can make my own. I am running out of time to do this and don’t understand how the Audi isn’t public.
