We don't do legal work at LawGuru. We are a collection of attorneys who volunteer to answer questions that are posted to the site and then emailed to us to see if we want to answer them. Your situation is a bit complicated due to the passage of time. You may run into problems with the court, as they may have dismissed your case due to the lack of a final judgment for so long. I suggest you contact the LA County Bar Association's lawyer referral service. If your ex had a lawyer, you might want to touch base with them to see if they know the status.
