What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I am in the middle of a settlement. The stipulation is already signed and sent to court. When am I supposed to get the money from the settlement? Before signing the judgement papers or after? My lawyer has said after I sign the stipulation and we get confirmation from court and BEFORE we sign the judgement we are supposed to get the money. However he has lied about a couple of things lately and said he never said them so I am wondering whether or not to sign the judgement before getting the money.
