Ask the male partner to ignore calls. OC will quickly remember you exist
He gets it and it’s intentional. Document it and bring it to the court’s attention when appropriate.
Call him out. “My colleague and I have repeatedly told you that I am the point of contact on this case. Is there a reason you nevertheless continue to contact my colleague, in the first instance, instead of me?” Praying you don’t get met with something like “sorry hunny! An old guy like me can’t remember 🙄”
I agree with this response. Put it in writing and be direct.

Pro
Have the partner tell him all communication must be in writing going forward and you have to be the one to be emailed.
