Re: money from a devorice

Interestingly, most family law matters can not be done on a contingent basis, but the straight recovery of money can. Talk to an attorney about a contingent arrangement. Assuming this is a viable business there is no reason the court can not compel payment (the process is called supplemental proceedings). As a contingent fee, you would probably not want to pay more than 20% of what is recovered.
