How Do I get an Income Deduction Order for alimony?

Asked 4 months ago - Belleview, FL

Flag

I got awarded alimony and now my ex has filed a modification 20 days after the order was entered (he moved and is attempting to say his higher rent he can't afford alimony) and my attorney refuses to communicate with me. (yes my attorney is in trouble with the Florida Bar for this), so I could really use any advice on how to file one. Thank you for any advice.

Additional information

Our court order states he has 30 days to create an account with Florida disbursement Unit and has to start paying me immediately (now 2 pay checks) and any party at any time can file for the income deduction order,
