A month ago, I filed and had served on my husband divorce papers. He defaulted. We must live together until he begins paying alimony, but has already told me he doesn't intend to pay. Things are getting very tense and police had to be called, so our seperation is important but I don't know the procedures for making him obey the divorce agreement...HELP and thanks!

first, you have to wait 90 days post-service before you can finalize your dissolution, so the "default" isn't valid
second, after you get a judgment (if you get one), you can enforce via garnishment of his wages, his bank account, and with a writ of execution, you can seize his personal property and the sell it. i wouldn't do any of this without an attorney. it is tricky. |
