A: In California, if you have concerns about past accountings in a case that's already scheduled for a biannual accounting in court, it's important to address these concerns promptly and formally. Generally, you would need to file a written notice or motion with the court before the scheduled court date. This document should detail your concerns and the reasons you believe the court should review the past accountings.

It's essential to follow the specific procedural rules of the court where your case is being heard. These rules dictate how and when to file such notices or motions. Given the complexity and time sensitivity of court proceedings, it would be wise to seek legal assistance to ensure that your concerns are properly presented and considered by the court.

Acting quickly is key in this situation to ensure that the court is aware of your concerns in time for the upcoming hearing. By filing the appropriate documents, you can request the court to consider your concerns alongside the scheduled accounting matters.
