Proving a loan was made

[Kitty C.]

...maybe you could try small claims court?  Gets it out of family court and any 'bias' you might be up against.  Any way to get a judgement agianst her would be preferable, which will hang over her head until it's paid.

It was small claims court.  That's what's so frustrating.  There's no question the loan was made, but that just didn't seem to matter to this judge!
