In this episode, we are just giving you a little update about the fee waiver process with the superior courts and this is specifically regarding the Los Angeles County Courts.

We recently send a client down to the San Fernando branch of the Los Angeles Superior Court for divorce filing with a fee waiver and the clerk gave them a little note and it says, fee waivers are now only accepted between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM or 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM Monday through Friday and of course aside from court holidays.

So, Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 11:00AM or 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM. I’m assuming the reason for this change is for the courts lunch break, that being the judge’s lunch break and the judge’s assistant known as the JA.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about something interesting, something that happened this week with a client of ours. This is in regards to a default judgment with spousal support.

We had a client come in several months ago wanted to file for a divorce who’s supposed to be amicable and as things progressed, it turn out to be not so amicable. Not that the other party is contesting anything but they didn’t want to participate in the divorce at all.

The party that we were working with was unemployed and the other party, her spouse was employed so we wanted to get her some spousal support because they had been married for quite some time.

In this episode, we’re talking about something very simple, something that people do wrong quite a bit and this is how to submit your document to the court.

Anything that you file with the court, you’re going to want to have an original, with original signatures. This would be, obviously your initial filing paper. Summon and petition or the declaration regarding service of your disclosures and of course the judgment.

Everything you submit needs to be submitted with an original which is hole punched to the top and at least one copy and more importantly, if you’re filing your documents by mail which you can do. You don’t have to go to court every time.

So if you’re going to hire a Divorce attorney in California for your Divorce case, I want you to know how the retainer process works because we’ve had clients who have retained attorneys prior to finding or learning of our service.

And they did not understand how the retainer service work. And they ended up spending a lot more money than they anticipated or the money they had placed on retainer they thought it was going to take care of their entire case.

And unfortunately it didn’t get them very far at all.

I just to talk about our service to our military folks. I’ve done a video or two in the past and I think its being seen by our military folks who are going through divorce.

I had a call yesterday and it was a sailor in the Navy obviously, overseas, deployed on a ship and he lives in San Diego of course as many as our California Naval personnel do.

I didn’t get where he was at the ocean, I’m sure it was something he don’t want to talk about anyways or what the ship he was on.
