Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Contempt violation

My ex and I have 2 properties. I live in the house and she owns the condo. My name is on both mortgages (hers is not). She refuses to pay the mortgage even though she has a court order to do so, putting my credit at risk. Her lawyer will not return my calls. Should I file another contempt complaint? How can I have this enforced?

Re: Contempt violation

Talk to your attorney and have him/her file a motion on this. Your credit will be the only one at risk unless and until the home is refinanced into her name. Her lawyer will likely not speak to you due to conflict of interest concerns - he cannot give you advice on how to proceed.
