Re: divorce decree

You may file a motion to enforce litigant's rights and to hold the other party in contempt of court as well as seeking legal fees and other sanctions in connection with enforcing the order.

Contact me to file such a motion or you may file Pro Se; but engaging counsel is highly recommended in such matters.

You ask the court to give your relief. Relief could be that the Court appoint someone to carrying out the financing and sign your former spouse's name on documents.

Re: divorce decree

I would file a motion to enforce the Property Settlement Agreement with the Court. Prior to filing, you might want to request the other party comply in writing - so you can ask for fees and show the judge you attempted to resolve this first without running to the court.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.
