Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Enforcing divorce decree
My husband and I divorced in 2002. He has not met financial obligations ordered in the divorce decree in an amount in excess of $50,000. Is it necessary for me to hire an attorney and file suit against him since he is already in violation of a court order? I am not asking for any additional sum. How would I go about seeing that the court order is enforced?

Re: Enforcing divorce decree
You always have the right to represent yourself. You can go to the county law library to review the casebooks.
Since you have so much at stake, I would advise you to hire a lawyer to file an enforcement by contempt action, in order to be sure that it is being done correctly.
