Legal Question in Family Law in California

This is Terrie and you asked me a question through Law Guru regarding arbitration. I haven't agreed but my ex hasn't paid me this month but besides that the whole thing is strange. I hired an attorney but last Friday we went to the office of the arbitrator judge but only the attorney's spoke with him. I was surprised when my lawyer told me that "We" have an offer instead of they but maybe I've read too many mysteries. I was also told that I wouldn't be meeting with the judge. My ex is very successful and has many friends. I don't trust my attorney and not sure what to do.

You need to send your follow up information directly to the attorney who had responded earlier to you. Click on their name to get their e-mail address.

If you do not trust your attorney you must talk to them as to what happened, what you do not understand, what you do not trust them about. With so little in facts, none of us can say whether your attorney did a good job or not. Most attorneys try to do the best for their clients that they can. I can not tell if you mean that the other side made an offer to you or your attorney made an offer to the other side.

Mr. Shers is right that there is not nearly enough information in your question to provide you any help. Since I am local to you, if you would like to meet with me to discuss the details of your situation, I offer the first 1/2 hour of consultation for free. Call or email me if you would like an appointment.

I suggest you contact Mr. McCormick, especially if he is near your location. I've never heard of a family law spousal support order being heard by an arbitrator.
