Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Court orders not followed
In the final divorce my ex husband was ordered to pay 1/2 of the daycare expeses and a balance on a credit card. He neglected to pay the credit card so I had to do it to protect my credit. He has not paid daycare in over a year. He is on unemployment now. Am I still entitled to collect the balance that he owes me and how?

Re: Court orders not followed
Hello! You are indeed
entitled to the balance
due from your ex-husband.
First of all, you need a
lawyer. Secondly, a
petition for rule to show
cause as to why he should not
be held in contempt of court
for violation of the court
order should be filed.
Thirdly, the court should
be asked to put him on
its job search program
where he would have to come
into court once each week
with a job diary showing
where he had looked for
employment, and the results.
I hope this information
helps.
