What is the name of your state? California
My Husband and I recieved a suboena to appear in a divorce case before we even appeared we demanded witness fees. The Attorney told us to sumit a bill to him and he would them make sure it would be paid due to this case being 1200 miles round trip. Here we are 4 months later and he still has not paid us our witness fees. Today we finally received a call from the attorneys office and they said that all the money is in a trust fund and unless our friend tells him to release the funds he can't do it. My question is why should we have to wait I thought witness fees are paid for when asked and sometimes before travel isn't this true? Any advice on what we should do?
