How long does a judge have to make a judgement after a trial in a california family law case?
dolphinfury asked:
I had a trial in August 2005. Although I was the respondent, the trial was initiated by myself on my behalf. I was seeking reimbursement for a significant amount of overpaid child support. I’ve called the court clerk and was told the judge is still working on it. I feel the judge is refusing to rule because she does not want to rule on my behalf (she seemed sympathetic towards the other side). Is the judge breaking the law byr dragging her feet? Do I have any other options available?

I’m not sure about California laws, but in the constitution, it states that everyone has the right to a speedy due process. I don’t think the judge can sit on it for a long period of time.
