How can I get my ex to follow court order and pay me?

If he is self employed you have a problem because the only asset you can levy on is any known bank account. If he is employed, get the court to give you an order to levy on his wages. Bankruptcy does not relieve him of his obligation to pay support.

What to do!!

Answered by attorney Lisa M. VanAuken
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Lisa M. VanAuken
Likely you will need to amend your petition for divorce to add a request that the Court confirm paternity of the child since the child is not technically a child of the marriage.  You can provide a certified copy of the acknowledgement of paternity as an exhibit to your petition.  Unless someone challenges the AOP the Court should confirm paternity.   It seems unusual that the Court would deny a TRO due to this situation, but some Courts are very particular about the pleadings and require you to be very precise in your pleadings.

What will I be entitled to in a divorce if we have a prenup?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)

With matters this important, I think you urgently need to hire a skilled family lawyer to represent you. To be enforced by a divorce court, a prenup must have been fair when it was first made, and fair when it is sought to be enforced. There is a lot of room for a lawyer to work with based on these issues. If the prenup were denied enforcement, then everything is up for grabs, and you would be presumptively entitled to half the total property. Of course, the estranged husband may have played games with transferring title and other things, so quite thorough investigation is needed.
