How do I enforce a divorce decree between my parents?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ronald Bornstein, Attorney at Law
You may be able to enforce the terms of the agreement to pay half of your college expenses, depending on several factors, especially the terms and language of the agreement and the final judgment. The bigger question is whether such an enforcement action will yield any actual benefit to you in terms of actual dollars, or just a money judgment on paper that you would have to collect. If your father has financial resources and the means to pay, but simply chooses not to, you may want to move forward with an enforcement action. On the other hand, if your father hasn't paid because he does not have the ability to do so, such as having involuntarily lost his job, you may be throwing away good money after bad, and may be better off waiting until his financial circumstances improve. You have to be careful, however, that you do not wait too long and allow any statutes of limitation that may apply, to run or lapse and bar you from making your claim.

Would a divorce take place with just an uncontested divorce document when we take it to court?

Answered by attorney James Forrest Lentz (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at James F. Lentz Attorney & Counselor at Law
I would suggest if you both agree as to the terms of the divorce, that you instead consider a dissolution. Please see an attorney to make sure your document would be accepted by the court.

How can I qualify for alimony?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
Alimony requires a long term marriage, normally over ten years for permanent alimony,  otherwise alimony will be temporary for a short period of time such as year or two.  The other requirement is that the spouse asking for alimony prove a need, meaning that expenses exceed income, and that the paying spouse prove ability to pay, meaning that income exceeds expenses. When determining need and ability it may be necessary to employ an expert witness such as a vocational expert and/or CPA to discuss not only the financial numbers but a spouses potential to earn income. These experts can add substantial costs to a divorce trial.
