Re: motion

It seems that you do not have a lawyer helping you.

It also seems that you need a lawyer's help in order to make your husband do what the Judge ordered him to do.

Probably, you will need to file a motion, a written request to the Court, to force your husband to do what he was ordered to do. I would need a lot more information to tell you anything more.

A divorce is an extremely important thing, affecting almost all of your life and your children's lives.

Employment, income to pay the family's expenses, is an issue.

If you have kids: custody and vistation, and child support are issues.

Child support and college tuition needs to be paid. Measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

You probably have a house and some money saved. You probably have a pension plan; maybe your spouse has a pension plan.

You need to see a decent, experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and have the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance. A good attorney could save you thousands of dollars and a great deal of heartache, make your life more manageable, and reduce the harm to the kids. When choosing an attorney, make sure it is someone whose personality works for you, someone you can work with.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey right across the street from the Bergen County Courthouse in Hackensack. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

Re: motion

Either hire an attorney to handle the case or hire one to quarterback it for you. There is no reason not to have an attorney. If you have no money, there is little to fight over.

To answer your question, when someone does not follow a court order, you can file a motion to hold the other person in contempt.
