Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
How do you get your ex-husband to comply with the Court Final Judgment Of Dissolution Of Marriage dated 04/04/2011? We have to transfer property to each other. I sent him the quit claim deeds on 4/19/2011, certified mail. On 4/28/2011 he phoned and said he would do them, but never did. This has been his M.O. through the two year divorce process. Is there a legal time frame to force his hand? Is there a legal form to submit to the Court? Thanks for you help.

A Motion To Compel Enforcement/To Show Cause probably should be pursued. I am not aware of any "generic" versions of this form.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
If this is a clear-cut intentional failure of your ex to comply with the clear terms of the Final Judgment, then there is an excellent chance the Court will Order him to reimburse your attorney fees and costs.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
