Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama
Consent Agreement
The divorce in Maryland where I am a resident includes a consent agreement, signed by both. It states that we settle an AmSouth Visa account, I pay 3000 and she pays the rest to close the account. My part is paid but we are 60 days past the deadline and she has yet to pay.
Do I have any options at all? She is a resident of Alabama and AmSouth is of course in Alabama as well.
Thank you

Re: Consent Agreement
If you have a well-drafted agreement with your ex, it should include a "breach" clause which gives you the right to have her held in contempt for that and allows you to seek attorney's fees. Unfortunately, the credit card issuer will look to you for payment and you'll have to get reimbursed by her if you end up paying the entire bill.
