What action can I take regarding dispute over money in a trust account set up for me by my parents

Business 3 views 1 answers
When i was born my parents put money into a trust account for school In 91 the judge ordered my mother to replace this money with interest by the time i turned 21. When i turned 21 my father took this matter to the courts and tried to get this money back but a different judge again ordered that this money plus interest be givin back to me immediatly Im now 22 and have not recieved this money and any attempt to discuss this matter quickly turns south. She is smart, vendictive, abusive and has a high paying government job with certain "connections" and im worried that while im giving time to get this money, she is hiding or trying to hold out long enogh for this judgment to expire do to certain laws. I would like to know what your opinons are. Thank you for your time.

A court order for distribution cannot be disobeyed nomatter how well connected she is. Assuming the money still exists and has not been improperly invaded,go to the same court which issued the order,file a noitce to enforce litigants rights and demand an accounting and distribution.Hire a probate lawyer to do this. If the money has been taken away improprerly you have a suit for fiduciary mismanagement of your trust. Good luck. You might find my legal guide on selecting and hiring a lawyer helpful.
