Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
My divorce has been final for 3 years and the settlement is based on the sale of matiral property. He did not list the property the first year and we had to take him back for contempt of court to make him. Shortly after the market fell out and nobody is buying anything. He can sell it for what ever amount he wants to as long as he pays me a specific amount. I have since discoverd that he has purchased 2 rental homes and some other things that add up to almost what he owes me in the division of material assets. Is there anyway I can take him back to court and get the money he owes me even if the property has not sold yet? Oh yea he has total use of the proeprty and it is a working farm so he has been making revenue off of it this whole time. He also changed the insurance policy on it so that the big barn was not insured. About 2 moths ago winds took the entire roof off of it and he wasn't insured and he has not fixed it. Is there any hope of me getting some or all of my money? He just thinks that he will never have to pay me and has no desire to even sell anything. Help please!

What you can or cannot do depends on the exact language of the settlement. You need to have a lawyer look at it to determine what you can and can't do. What you can't do is rewrite the deal that is already there. You may be able to do things to enforce the deal. That depends on how good a job your lawyer did writing in.
