Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Loan with Ex In-Laws

For starters, I don't suggest you trust your situation and decisions to some anonymous free advice on the Net. No one is going to give you actual legal advice here that you can trust, only generalities, since we haven't seen the agreements, divorce decrees, property settlement orders, correspondence or other documents which may confirm oral agreements, nor have we researched the law or cases, nor can you expect anyone to do so for this forum, since they have no committment or obligation to you. The cliche 'advice is worth what you pay for it' applies. Regardless, the original agreement determines the obligations, subject to any modifications from the divorce court or other agreements or waivers of the parties. Only you know what they are. Whatever you contend is your remaining obligation is obviously open to dispute by her, and she is already telling you that. Does it matter what anyone on this forum tells you? Are you going to go wave a printout of that response in her face and expect her to 'fold'? You may end up being sued if you don't do as they demand, and you will certainly need help then. When you are ready to get serious about the large and disputed financial obligation you face, feel free to contact me for consult on this.
