jewishness – There are ways to get around paying for Dinei Torah. If it’s a question like you want money out of s/o -you can ask a Poisek in your town who deals with Money questions or you can ask your own Rov. It’s better to ask the former because let’s say you’re right -it’s unlikely the other guy will concede because of what your Rov says. On the other hand if you ask a top guy in your town (you won’t be able to say the name of the other guy to him) and if he says you’re right -you might be able to convince your adversary that he should pay up and save the Tzar of going to a Din Torah. And if you ask and the Rabbonim say you’re wrong -you just saved yourself the cost of a Din Torah.
Just a note – sometimes you could be 100% right acc. to Din, but you might not win in a Din Torah, either because not all Botay Dinim are honest and even if the Bais Din you get is honest -they might find a loophole that noone could have dreamed about and you lose. This happens all the time in Bottay Din and in Goyishe courts. There is a reason that they always recommend trying to come to some agreement or Hapsharah first.
