Tobie B. Waxman
Offering cost effective, compassionate representation for 30 years.Providing high quality legal representation to a wide range of clients throughout the greater Los Angeles area since 1993. I offer reasonable and highly competitive hourly rates where applicable. Prenuptial Agreements and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO) are expertly prepared for one flat fee. The best interests of the children are the focus of the courts and of my law practice. Once your family law matter has resolved, you will not be abandoned. If modifications of any support, child custody or visitation orders are needed in the future, contact my office to reopen your file. I was recently asked what types of medical malpractice cases I am willing to take. My answer? I take good cases. Unlike most other personal injury lawyers, I get the records reviewed by a qualified expert up front before any letters are sent or any case is filed. If I agree to take your case it's because I know it's good and I can make you money.

- Q. family court case can i write a letter to the judge regarding the current case?
- A: No one will read it. Unless there is a pending hearing, anything you file with the court will get stuck in the case file and no one will see it, read it, or consider it.

- Q. substitution of attorney
- A: Depends on the court. With some court (such as Los Angeles county), a Substitution of Attorney can be turned around the same day it is efiled. If you need it to hire new counsel, just get the signed (fully executed) copy from your attorney (whether filed or not). That will be sufficient for purposes of hiring new counsel.
- Q. How long will it take for me to received child and spouse support after I request a court order?
- A: If you don't have a court order for support, you won't get support. Once you get your court order for support, you should obtain an "Income Withholding Order" and then serve that on the supporting parent's employer. It may take a couple months to process before support actually kicks in. Sounds like you have not filed any motion with the court to obtain support orders yet. When you respond to his motion regarding custody, you should include a request for support. Otherwise, you will need to file your own motion to get court orders for spousal and child support. Don't waste your time with an application for emergency orders (aka Ex Parte) - it won't be ... Read More
