Re: Reneg 0n car payments

Go to probate court;

Get a complaint for contempt;

Fill it out describing in one part what he was supposed to do under the order;

In the other part what he failed to do;

And then seek sanctions, including any damages and costs;

Make sure to keep at least one copy of the complaint, since you will be sent a summons that you will have to serve on him;

take the summons to a process server or sheriff, with a copy of the complaint and have it served;

The summons will have a return date;

Remember, always keep copies;

On the return date, go to court with copies of all documents and information related to his failure to comply with the court's order.
