Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Unfortunately, having a court order is sometimes only as good as the paper it is written on. While your ex is bound by the Order, he or she might just stall. Having the Order is useful, though, as you now have a court ruling that you can enforce against your ex and his or her assets. Unless he or she voluntarily takes some action, you might have to be proactive in enforcing the Order by getting further legal help to obtain things such as a QDRO if the investments are in a retirement or other tax qualified plan, placing and enforcing a lien, and a garnishmentor an assignment of income through a clearing house to get the steady alimony payments.

Did you have a lawyer in the divorce action? If so, you may want to follow up with that lawyer to see about getting things initiated. If you didn't have a lawyer and feel like you need to consult with one, feel free to drop me a line.
