Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have been ordered to pay one half of unpaid medical expenses that have appeared on my ex's credit report. He produce a credit report and a check that has not been endorsed as proof of payment. I am In Pro Per, he has an attorney. After doing some investigating, I found that the check had never been cashed nor was it a bill pertaining to our child. I presented this to the Commissioner and was told I would still have to pay the one-half of the medical bills and attorney's fees because I did not appeal in the 30 day time period. What can I do and does CA Family Code 2120-2129 apply to me? Does the Commissioner have the authority to change the original ruling?

Without proper legal representation, you may continue to find yourself in a defensive mode in managing your legal matter. There may be a hoast of legal options available to you concerning this issue as well as parenting the child. Please take the time to meet with a skilled family law attorney to assess the totality of your situation.

Ms. Kock is right. Until you get a lawyer you are in a hopeless situation. I am a big fan of people doing their own divorce work with minimal help from an attorney, preferably an attorney/mediator. But when you are getting cheated by an attorney on the other side it is just going to keep on happening until you get a lawyer of your own.
