Re: familiy law
That is a suprising result, as fee awards are either based on need v ability to pay or intransigence.
Did you ask for reconsideration or appeal the decision?
If not, you have to live with it or bankrupt it out. You should consider consulting with a bankruptcy attorney promptly.
When you send checks to him, send a cover letter spelling out what you are sending and keep a copy of the letter and your check.
If he will not cash the checks, tell him you are establishing an escrow account with the clerk's registry at the courthouse and deposit the money with the Clerk.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
