I trust rabbonim implicitely with halachic issues, but with non-halachic issues, you should turn to them for advice but understand its ADVICE and not a psak.
My husband’s family’s Rav was not crazy about me and wasn’t very excited that we were getting married. Had my husband listed to him, we would not have gotten married and had the beautiful marriage we have to day. His Rav gave him advice, but my husband had to make a decision.
Rabbonim are NOT experts in everything. They are experts in TORAH. Would you ask them what antibiotics to take for an ear infection? I wouldnt, because that is not their area of expertise.
