My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: CA
In a family law court, my Ex was ordered to pay a specific portion of a custody evaluation. She is not going to pay and if I want the evaluation completed, I will have to pay the outstanding balance.
I will have an order that says she pay's X amount and proof that I paid the entire amount. I would like a money judgment so that I can try to recoup my expense. Is this something I can do in Small Claims court? I would like to avoid spinning up my family law attorney.
