Court order for non payment of alimony?

Jason Alan Ostendorf
Answered by attorney Jason Alan Ostendorf (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLC
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with alimony payments. Navigating interstate enforcement can be complex, but there are steps you can take to address this situation: Register the Georgia Alimony Order in Colorado:Under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), you can register your Georgia alimony order in Colorado. This allows Colorado courts to enforce the order as if it were their own. To do this, you'll need to file the necessary documents with the Colorado court system. Once registered, Colorado courts can assist in enforcing the order. Initiate Wage Garnishment:Since your ex-spouse is in the military, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) handles military pay. You can request DFAS to garnish his wages for alimony payments. This requires submitting a valid court order that specifies the alimony amount and directs the employer to withhold the specified amount. Seek Legal Assistance:Given your financial constraints, consider reaching out to legal aid organizations in Colorado that offer free or low-cost services. They can assist with the registration process and provide guidance on enforcing the alimony order. If you’re dealing with enforcement complexities, consulting a divorce attorney can provide insights into how similar interstate enforcement processes might work, as many family law principles are consistent across states. Document All Communications:Keep detailed records of all communications with your ex-spouse regarding alimony payments. This documentation can be crucial if legal action becomes necessary. Stay Informed:Familiarize yourself with both Georgia and Colorado laws related to alimony enforcement. Understanding your rights and the legal processes can empower you to take effective action. Taking these steps can help ensure you receive the alimony payments you depend on. Although I'm a Maryland divorce attorney, this advice should be helpful in light of the UIFSA and its application across states.

How do I claim my portion of my ex husbands retirement?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
You don't provide enough information to answer your question. Depending on what kind of retirement you are dealing with, it may be necessary to have the court enter what is commonly called a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) if it is a private retirement plan or another type of qualifying order if it is a government retirement plan. Because those types of orders can be quite complicated you need to contact an attorney who has expertise and experience in preparing these kinds of order for a judge to sign. Once there is a signed order, it must be sent to the plan administrator for approval according the plan rules.

Divorce decree states our home was to be short sold, bank approved now but ex refuses to sign am I responsible?

Answered by attorney Pamela R. Lawson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Pamela R. Lawson
You will need to call your ex ask him one more time to sign the papers as ordered by the court in your decree; if he refuses, you need to go back to court on an Order Shortening Time for an Order whereby the court can sign for him and request attorney fees for the appearance and motion if you use counsel. My position on the who should draft the QDRO is he should be responsible, he's getting the benefit.
