Is California Planning To Extend The Years For The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Law?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

A reader asks…

The California mortgage forgiveness debt relief law is effective immediately. It is similar to federal law, but with important differences.
The California law covers qualified debt forgiven in 2007 and 2008, where as the federal law will soon cover debt forgiven thru 2012.

i have filed and served papers on my husband. my attorney costs $300 per hour. how can i use as little os her time as possible to save money by doing things myself.
here are some ideas i have thought of: file additional paperwork by mail myself (are there any good resources for how to do this?)
hire a paralegal for everything but legal advice and representation (on average what is their hourly rate, and has anyone done this before?)
have as little contact with my lawyer as humanly possible
any other suggestions?
