A:
Based on the information you provided, it seems that you have a strong case against the defendant, as she has admitted to taking the money and not returning it in a handwritten confession. However, it is concerning that one year has passed without a resolution to your case.
Given the complexity of the situation and the time that has elapsed, it would be advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in civil litigation. They can review your case, the evidence you have submitted to the court, and advise you on the best course of action moving forward.
A lawyer can help you understand your legal options, such as:
1. Following up with the current court to determine the status of your case and why it has not been resolved.
2. Filing a motion to compel the court to take action on your case.
3. Assessing whether it is appropriate to file your case in a different court or jurisdiction.
4. Pursuing additional legal remedies to recover the money owed to you, such as placing a lien on the defendant's properties.
While hiring a lawyer may involve additional costs, it can be beneficial in helping you navigate the legal system, protect your rights, and work towards resolving your case more efficiently. Many lawyers offer free initial consultations, which can help you understand your options before committing to their services.
