Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
My sister's ex-husband sold their house, taking all of the proceeds. They had a Property Settlement Agreement that stated that he would have to split the proceeds equally if the house was ever sold.
She took him to Court and he is to pay "at least $100.00 a month". The payments are becoming "few and far between" lately. Is there a way to have this debt "acquisitioned" by someone that would pay her a lump sum in exchange for the payments going directly to them from now on?
Thank you.

Depending how the agreement was set up. It Motion to enforce the order. One remedy would be that unless the payments are brought current say within 60 days that ex-Husband gets some jail time. Of course that should have happened the last go round, after all ex-husband had the money yet didn't pay. Why would he be allowed to pay over time unless there was also interest being assessed?
