Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Hi,
I was have been divorced now for 10 years. I was married for 17 years; during that time I never worked was a stay at home wife and mother of three. I did not receive alimony, (bad divorce lawyer). My ex husband and I made a verbal agreement that if I applied for the parent loans so our daughter can go to school. She graduated last may and the loans are now due, he paid the half the first month, and now he does not want to pay anymore. The payment is $500.00 per month, which I cannot afford. Is there anything that I can do?

You have basically no recouse because you have nothing in writing and the student loan issue appears not to be in your divorce judgment. That said you can try to enforce this in court. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.
If the agreement was for your adult child (over 18) and it was verbal then there is no recourse in family court. However you may have some remedy in a civil court for a civil suit. Speak with a civil attorney on the matter.
I would however suggest that you have an attorney review the marital settlement agreement(if there was one) and the divorce judgment to see if there is any language that supports a claim for enforcement of this payment. Feel free to fax to my attention - 866-220-8314 for a free review.
