Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Violation of Divorce Decree

Divorce is final. I have not received my property

back that is spelled out as attachment a to the

divorce decree. My ex wife ignores attempts

by me to set up a time to setup this property

acquiring at her residence. Some items that

could be fit into a car, were given to me Jan 8th.

The last Court pretrial was Oct 25, the papers were

finalized by the Judge Dec 31 2001.

As part of the agreement, I send her a check made

out to the bank for 1/2 the mortgage. She writes

a check for the other half. It is not alimony.

So to get my stuff back, that Ive been waiting

since Oct 25, I have not sent her the Feb 2002

mortage.

Her lawyer is now threatening garnishing of wages,

I and my lawyer scoff at that. All it will take

to settle this issue is to get my stuff from

her possession into my hands.

The Bank will be writing her (and I eventually)

when the loan becomes more than 30 days past,

which is March 1st. I plan on taking this as

far as possible, and will not pay the mortgage,

even if creditors come a knocking, and am

willing to ruin my credit report. What should

I make of her garnishing idea? That is alimony.

Her lawyer is not helping things by coming up

with that as a way to get me to back down.

Why don't you go the the house with the separation agreement and the police when you know she will be there. Let the police be there to keep the peace
