It depends on what those payments are for. If they are for child support, contact the Department of Child Support Services. If for spousal support, reimbursements, or distribution of marital assets, you may need to bring a contempt action against him. You can also do that for child support but DCSS might take care of it for you without your need to hire an attorney. If you hire an attorney, which could be our firm for example, you would also seek an order that he pay for your attorney fees. Whether you qualify for such an order requires many facts not readily discernible from your posting here.

In order to answer this question any attorney will need to read the agreement, if there is one, and the final judgment. If the pension was equitably divided as part of the divorce, you probably will not lose the pension benefits.

Without months of preparation, and the severing of all ties with friends and family, It is nearly impossible for someone to disappear to the point of being unlocatable anymore. The more important questions is, what is your son waiting for? He should file for divorce and have his attorney run a skip trace or use an investigator to locate her so she can be served with divorce papers. Your son has nothing to gain by waiting, and may be increasing his potential exposure to her claims for various types of relief. But to answer your question, while it may be possible for her to obtain a judgment claiming she doesn't know where he is, it would generally be subject to being set-aside based upon fraud on the court, as well as perjury, which is a crime. The better practice would be for you son to file for divorce as soon as possible. He should consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of his situation and his options.
