CA Family Law - divorce
« on: June 18, 2008, 04:26:35 PM »
Does anyone know how to expedite divorce hearing? 

I'm helping out a friend and his 'soon to be ex-wife' is 'dragging feet'. Judge scheduled hearing on April....and my friend is wondering if there is a way to move that hearing closer. I looked through various California Family Law publications and can't find anything.... and since quite a few people on this board experienced this process first hand..... anyone?

What does his lawyer say?

Ten months seems kinda long, but if he is doing this pro-per and she has a lawyer, he does not want to go to court because he will get crucified.

Both parties are self representatives......and judge at the moment is on husbands side.  They tried lawyers but bloodsuckers just drank blood without any results.

under certain circumstances you can petition the court to expedite the hearing....

was there any form of a pre-nup?  that moves things along quicker.

are minor children involved? is there a high degree of assets to settle or split? incomes? property? etc?  are there any issues that are hotly contested? if yes to any of these, it's highly unlikely.

If it's an uncontested divorce, no property disputes or kids, then what's the hold up?

It's contested, there is some property and a child. But you guys are not answering the question...

Ask the attorney this question, that's what they're getting paid for.
