Can I file a Motion to enforce my final divorce decree? My ex has not paid his half of the Mortgage payment and I am now scrambling to sell what ever

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

Yes, it's a motion to enforce litigants rights.  File and ask that you be awarded fees.

Legality of separation from bed and board

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
What your mother signed was an agreement to be separate from bed and board but from what you said it was not a court order, or a judgement.  I don't think it will have any force or effect, and that on your father's death, your parents would still be considered legally married.  If your father died without a will, she may still be entitled to inherit a portion of his estate.

Family law: Father may sue me for excess college costs over the agreed amount between my parents in their divorce agreement.

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
I’m guessing that your current relationship with your father is not the best and he is angry and being angry, he is lashing out at you and trying to make you feel guilty or make sure that you know that he paid an amount towards your school costs in excess of his legal obligation. I don’t know how ( if ever) for you to repair your relationship with your father BUT legally, he has no legal right to require you to reimburse him for the amount he paid over and above what he was legally obligated to pay based on the agreement in place with your mother. If your father was to file a lawsuit against you for the excess payments, you need to send him a frivolous litigation letter, notifying him that any such claim is not proper and that you will be forced to retain counsel to oppose his claim and that all costs incurred by you in opposing it, potentially will be his responsibility under the frivolous litigation laws.
