My exhusband and I were married and divorced in the state of florida. I still live here but he's moved to Georgia. The money is reimbursement for debts accumulated during our marriage. These debts are in my name. He should be paying $300 an month and has not paid anything. He says he will claim bankruptcy if I force the issue. - will this dissolve his debts to me? How do I get him to pay, can I file something myself or must i use a lawyer?

You may be able to do it yourself through Self Help. First, is he obligated to pay these debts under the Final Judgment or Marital Settlement Agreement? If so, you could go after him for contempt and ask the Court to compel him to pay this debt. Since he has threatened bankruptcy, you should also request that the Court Order that this debt may not be chargeable in bankruptcy. This is not always successful as the Court may not be able to grant it, however, it's worth a try.
