Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
contempt in separation agreement
I had to take my x to court for contempt on our separation agreement. The outcome is pending and he is supposed to pay me $16000 of which he only gave me $7350. I cannot afford the monthy payments as the interest on the credit card is bad...Someone is willing to lend me the money to pay it off interest free...will this hurt anything if I pay it off before the situation is settled?

No. From what you frite, his debt owning is still owed to you even it a third party makes it possible to settle the debt. Conceivably you now owe the third party.
