Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Received a summons, ex wife has filed a motion for contempt and enforcement of final judgment for dissolution of marriage. The final divorce judgment states that I pay her directly $xxx per month until amount is paid automatically by xxx. It also states that money is to be transferred through bank accounts until that time as well. Ex wife has not given her account information at all, since receiving the summons I have called and left messages and texts for account information and she will not respond... she is suing for the full amount from time divorced was final until now along with any fee and cost associated with having to bring this matter to court. I have no problem paying but with no bank information how can I? what can or should I do?

Retain a lawyer to handle the matter and to contact opposing counsel.
Document what you are doing and your efforts to resolve the matter.
You need to file your response to pleading "I deny each and every allegation as stated in the Motion for Contempt/Enforcement" and request the court to dismiss the action with prejudice."
file that immediately. YOu only have 10 days fr om date of service.
AFterwards get you an attorney on board.
