Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

Maintenance

In my separation agreement, my exhusband was to begin paying maint. on Feb. 1, 2007 and continue for 6 months. There was no agreement as to when I had to be out of our residence, and the property was ''amicably divided''. He refused to pay the maint. in Feb. because I didn't vacate the premises until the middle of the month, and he is refusing to pay now at all because he is alleging I structurally damaged the house (I did not and have witnesses). He also is claiming I took property that I should not have taken (a range that was not listed or mentioned in the settlement agreement). I have received no money from him since Dec. 23, 2006, and was unemployed until January 11th, 2007. Can he legally refuse to pay maintenance?

Re: Maintenance

No, he cannot. However, you will have to file a motion to enforce the order with the court. He can be held in contempt.
