Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Hello,
I have been divorced for about two years. My divorce settlement has been finalized. My ex-husband is stalling (to be nice) to pay me my settlement money. It is not alimony, but a settlement. Everything is final, what steps do I need to take to get this in the courts so I can recieve my money? Does it need go even go to court? District court, civil court, etc?
Thank you,

More information is needed, including the time frame set forth in the divorce decree. If he violated a divorce decree, it may be faster to file a motion for contempt.
As far as filing a lawsuit against him, it all depends on the amount he owed.
