Divorce Lawyers Los Angeles - Judgment Procedure

JUDGMENT PROCEDURE

In every case when a Judgment has been ordered by the Court to be filed, the party so ordered shall submit the proposed judgment to the other party's attorney, or to the party, if self-represented, for approval thereof and then file it with the Court. If either party or attorney fails to prepare or approve the judgment, or file objections to it within ten (10) days of service, the other party or attorney may prepare and submit the judgment to the Court with a proof of service on the other party or attorney.

The Court will set an Order to Show Cause re: Failure to Submit Judgment. If the judgment is received prior to this hearing, no appearance is necessary and the OSC will go off calendar. If the judgment is not received, sanctions may be imposed.

(Rule 14.16 adopted and effective 7/1/04.)
