Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Statue of Limitations
My ex-wife was ordered refinance her house in order to free up my VA, and turn all documents and proof that it was done over to me by a certain time or she would have to pay me $500.00 dollars per day until she complies. She fail to do so by the deadline, but when we went back to court they did not mention anything about the money she owe me. What is the statue of limitation on me taking her back to court concerning the monies owed? And how do I go about doing so?

Re: Statue of Limitations
The statute (not statue)of limitations is generally 3 years, but since she was assessed an ongoing penalty, it's kind of a moving statute here. You didn't clarify whether your ex has now completed the refinancing as ordered. If so, you know how much the total penalty should be, and can make a written demand for payment. When she refuses, you can file for a show cause order and ask the court to enter a money judgment against her, and then try to attach her paycheck or bank account.
If she still hasn't completed the refinancing, you'd be better off to wait until she does so you'll only have to do this once. All of this should make it apparent to you that you need legal assistance to effectively accomplish what you are trying to do.
