Question for California attorneys

#1 Post by kayrharris » Mon Oct 20, 2008 5:55 pm

Seriously, I need help for a friend here who is trying to get a child support case straightened out.
They filed some papers which were returned with a Notice of Rejection - Pleadings. It says the document does not comply with California Rules of Court, rule 2.100. Please re-submit on the mandatory form.

However, it doesn't give you what the mandatory form might be. Any of you know and could you send me a link to it, maybe?

Thanks in advance!

Rule 2.100 simply says that local (i.e., county-level) rules regarding the form of papers have been pre-empted. I'm not a family lawyer, but I believe that most family law pleadings must be done on a required form. Try searching "California Judicial Council" to see if your friend can find the appropriate form. --Bob

Thanks, Bob. I think they may need to retain a California attorney. The attorney here just sent the petition without any of the forms I see on the website. Yikes, there are hundreds of them! It would have been helpful had the letter California sent just simply put the required form number in their letter!!

That's probably a good idea. Let me know if you need a name or two. --Bob
