What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hi again everyone. I am back again and things are worse now than ever. I am on my second attorney, have spent over $13,000.00 in about a year and still I have not been able to get an accounting of the trust. There was a date set and he got it postponed. Then he started talking about settling before the date but that turned out to be a stall tactic. The bottomline now is I am out of money to continue to fight him. I have to believe that he has a deal with someone , maybe his in laws, or maybe even his attorney that is enabling him to carry it this far as he has no money of his own. I have a court date set for the 15th of Dec. but I have no faith that anything substantive will happen at that time. The theme of his response to our petition is pretty combative. I am pretty depressed right now and my retainer is about used up. I am thinking of going to court by myself and let the chips fall where they may. There is around $40,000.00 in cash and a house that is mortgaged to hilt and then some, and I don't have any confidence that I can win. The family friend who is an attorney but won't get involved says I can't let him get away with this , but, how much do I spend on maybe? Not to mention, he could spend it all tomorrow and the judgement I get will never get paid as he will never amount to anything if the past 20 years is any indication...
