CA Family Law - divorce

[CAP1]

..... yeah.... .only blood suckers know legal system. Us - poor ol' uneducated folks can't open a book and share knowledge.

sad part is..there's probably a lawyer readng this thread.....not willing to offer advice

[SD67]

I have a feeling one already has offered some advice

thought I knew enough about divorce in kalifornia but I can't think of a way to change a court date once it is made except to delay.

If it is contested and he doesn't have a lawyer then he is screwed I would think.   It is always best to get an agreement in the beginning before the lawyers get involved... once one has a lawyer... both need em.   Even a reasonable woman becomes crazy once she talks to her lawyer and friends long enough.

the delay will just give her and her lawyer more time to make sure they pick the bones clean.

Back in the 90's I went through this with an attorney. I won full custody but IIRC it took almost a year for everything to be settled.

You need a mean, aggressive, competent, often expensive lawyer willing to leave no stone unturned and willing to file, file ,file, and basically wage a "jihad" of sorts.
(i been through it also)
This may seem insane (and it is)

insane, but you're very very right. i've never been through it(thak God) b ut have seen friends go through this crap. in the PRNJ, the wife almost ALWAYS gets whatever she wants in these things from what i've seen.

I'm an attorney admitted in CA, NY and FL, although I do not practice law for a living.  No attorney is going to dispense legal advice here, nor should they. I can tell Russian with great confidence, that the hold up is what I thought it is..... which is the welfare of a minor child. Because of that, I doubt that entering petitions to the Court will expedite this matter for them.  Their best chances are to re examine the idea of each retaining attorneys.

well, no offense intended towards you...but i stated it that way due to the fact that when someone starts a thread asking automotive advice, a bunch of us offer it. when someone asks almost any advice actually, it's offered....even face to face....it seems that doctors and lawyers prefer not to do so. funny thing is that i have a couple customersa that are docs..and although they will offer no advice, they are very quick to ask it about their vehicles..........

none taken CAP 1 .... yeah...it's human nature I think.

with doctors and lawyers there are too many variables to give any advice other than see one at their office.
which any advice or treatments should then be covered under malpractice insurance.

asking a general question of something and a question of specifics are two entirely different things.
a general question about a disease can easily be answered or a general question if there is a law about such and such is easy enough. the devil is in the details.

although your question was general in nature, it requires specific info to answer it. such as; if something = true then "this is your answer" : if something = false then "this is your answer" . even then it can be the wrong answer.

so the general answer to your general question of law is, maybe and maybe not. see a lawyer in your local area, specializing in that area of law.
