If an MSA is a judgement ,can we inforce it in small claims court
My fiancee and his ex-wife agreed that she would pay the credit card debt but did not attach a dollar amount to the debt. There is still a debt of $6000. .. to rectify. Can we pursue this amount in small calims court? There is a concern of retribution if we go back to family court.
