Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Nonpayment of Alimony
Divorced 5/27/09.Court ordered alimony of $300.00 was to begin 06/01/09.My ex will not pay me and I can't afford an attorney.The court does not have a form for contempt of court,however they do have all forms neccesary to file for wage garnishment from his employer.My question is can I bypass the contempt of court and move right to wage garnishment ? Are there laws that restrict that? Also,from the date of the divorce is there a minimum number of months of nonpayment of alimony in order to file a wage garnishment ?

Re: Nonpayment of Alimony
File for wage garnishment. If you waived that in the final decree, the court may still institute wage withholding since he has not made the required June payment.
