Legal Answers
809 Questions Answered
- Q. What can I do if I cannot afford an attorney and my husband is an attorney and has retained one?
- A: The parties in a family law case are entitled to equal access to legal representation. If he can afford to hire an attorney, he can probably afford to contribute to the cost of you retaining an attorney. You just need to ask. You can file a motion with the court (called a "Request for Order") and ask for spousal support along with assistance with your legal fees.
- Q. I am waiting on the final judgement for the last 3 months after i filed Declaration for Default/Uncontested Judgment.
- A: Is that all you filed? If all you filed was the FL170, then nothing further is going to happen. To get a judgment entered, you have to file a judgment package which includes the proposed judgment (with FL180) and Notice of Entry of Judgment, in additional to a couple other forms. https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/divorce/finalize-divorce
- Q. Ex Filed Request for Trial Setting: How Do I File a Motion to Strike?
- A: First, if the other party has not filed their FL141, the request for trial setting will be rejected. Second, you do not need to file a motion to strike that request. Instead, filing an objection to the request for trial setting is sufficient assuming you list all the valid bases for objecting to the request. Third, separately, you can file a motion to compel the other party to provide their financial disclosures, provided you have already provided yours. [See Family Code §2107]
