Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
How do I satisfy a judgment that is an offset to a judgment awarded to me?
My ex-spouse was awarded a judgment against me for overpaid childcare due to some lost receipts and less daycare after she entered school.
I was awarded a judgment several times larger which has not been paid. My divorce decree states that an overpayment would be a credit but the court refused to make it a credit.
My ex-spouse is very well-off and I am not. They insist I pay her this judgment while she refuses to pay her debt. She has tens of thousands in an account but her attorney tells me that I try to collect, that they will go after my home. My ex signed an indemnification (I am not sure what that means) for the company holding her money if I should seek collection.
What can I do?

Re: How do I satisfy a judgment that is an offset to a judgment awarded to me?
The child support judgment holds a higher position than the judgment in the decree, which is a property distribution judgment. As to the details of what anybody signed and what it means, without the documents it is difficult to even guess.
