Legal Question in Family Law in California
In my divorce my ex was awarded half of my retitirement..CalPERS asked me to file for a new order that determines the specific nature and extent of her comm/poperty. This we did filing on May 11, 2012. At the time we were told it would take 3 weeks for a reply. I was told last friday, 6 to 8 weeks, due to cut backs, layoffs...so far nothing..should we just wait or get a layer...will it truely go any faster?
This is Los Angeles Superior Court...Pomona

It is possible that a local Pomona family law attorney that is a regular face in the Pomona courthouse might be able to get the paperwork through faster than you can yourself. No guarantees; as everyone including attorneys is affected by the court budget cuts and layoffs.
A lawyer isn't going to make the court clerks process paperwork faster. A lawyer can review the paperwork, however, and make sure you filled it out correctly.
