- If the delay is unreasonable, you may need to contact your attorney or the court.

Okay it only has been around * weeks
That's within the usual timeline, ****. However, if you're still concerned, have you reached out to your attorney for an update on your settlement disbursement?
Yes I have he said the same thing I just wanted to make sure
It seems like everything is going as expected, ****. If your attorney also agrees, it's likely best to be patient for a little while longer. If there's no progress after * weeks, then it might be worth exploring further.
Okay thank you
