I'm sorry to say this, but you need a lawyer.
You don't say why he had one and you didn't, but that doesn't sound good to me at all.

I'm interested to see what others have to say, but I did have a lawyer and had to go back to court repeatedly to get a judge to order him to comply.

In my humble opinion, without knowing the circumstances of your divorce, you were taken advantage of, and he's continuing to try to do that.

I don't think his lawyer is going to be to helpful. The lawyers can't enforce orders, only a judge can, and she might just tell you to take him to court (more money for her).

In stories I read, many have had problems in this regard.

You can try to get to her yourself by talking to her, but as ClearDay said, the best way to get someone to follow a court order is to keep the court involved.

If it is in regard to child support contact your local county prosecutor or district attorney to press criminal non-support to dependent charges

If that is not the problem, then go to Divorce.com or Divorce360.com and research your issue there to see what you can do

I agree w/the others that your best best is to take him back to court.

You could contact some attorneys who either do pro-bono work or offer free consultations. You could also contact the court where the divorce decree / court order was finalized and ask what your options are. I would think you can take him back to court yourself. But if it were me, I'd only do that armed w/all the legal knowledge I could find. Many states post a lot of laws/rules about divorce on their websites.

Depending on how long you were married, many states have guidelines set up for alimony/spousal support. Just to make sure you got a fair deal. If your settlement doesn't fall into those guidelines, then you might ask the court to order a more fair settlement.

I'd get Judge Judy involved. :)

It's not to do with child or spousal support. I hesitate to define it exactly, because it would be so identifying, but the decree states very clearly there are certain things he must do and gives him a time frame for doing them; he has not done them and the time is long past.

I am just groaning at the thought of going back to court. Our divorce took three years before it was finally settled. I'll do it if that's the only way, but uggghhhh.

I started my case with a lawyer, but halfway through she had to drop out due to a medical condition. That's a whole other kettle of fish. I finished the divorce on my own and I am proud and pleased with the outcome, it was very fair. I'm just stuck now with no one to call when he won't comply.

(Also I'm annoyed. Typical of him to think the law just doesn't apply to him!)

Thank you for the help and input!

I wouldn't be surprised if he's banking on you not wanting to go back to court.

Check w/the court (that issued the divorce decree) clerk to see if you can file a contempt of court charge on your own. If they do, then, I think it becomes the court against him.

I totally agree with mytruecolors.

He's banking on the fact that you won't be bothered taking him back to court.

My ex did too. I was tired and stressed, basically had a "nervous breakdown ". With the help of friends I found the strength. My ex was shocked. He lost. The judge even told him off.

I know what it's like, I've been there. Just know if you let him get away with non compliance now, he will just keep doing it.

then make some phone calls to family lawyers who give free consults. I had some unfinished business with my divorce and that's what I did. Also, go on the website I told you about (D360) and find the forum for your state. Ask your questions there. They are moderated by those who either practiced or practicing law. There are also websites where you can post questions and a lawyer will answer for a small fee. But I never did that because if you don't know specifically what to ask, you usually don't get all the details you need, or told what you already know.

Will do, thank you!

I had to file contempt on my ex three times before he accepted that he had to follow the settlement agreement we both agreed to. It ended up costing him more than the original settlement. He also thinks rules don't apply to him.

File contempt on him and maybe he will honor the rest of the terms in your divorce. It took three court hearings and the threat of going to jail to convince the ex to pay what he owed me. I hope you only have to do this once.

Thank you for the information. My STBX was just ordered to pay me temporary support. (Ha ha). Of course he hasn't. It's only been the first month. He also thinks they law doesn't pertain to him! He is in for a surprise since the final settlement is expected to be much higher - and he doesn't know it yet.
