Divorce Settlement Problems
How can I get my xHusband to pay his share of IRS Taxes, Child support, truck and Insurance payments, etc., which was approved in the divorce settlement and signed by both clients. To date, 2 months after the Settlement and divorce he has not paid anything stated. Everytime I call my Lawyer he charges a fee that I can't afford. My Lawyer to date has charged me approx
$ 16,000 and all I'm receiving is
$ 250 per week for 3 children. My Lawyer said he has to make a ''Motion'' to try and get my xhusband to pay his share which means that to get $ 250 it will cost me a $ 350 Lawyer fee. This is ridiculous! Between my do nothing Lawyer and my xhusband I am bankrupting myself. Who can I turn to without going to my Lawyer? Please Help me.

Re: Divorce Settlement Problems
You have to file a motion to do anything. Courts usually do not like to handle motions from parties who are represented by an attorney. You will either have to live with your attorney or fire him or her.
