Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin

Yes, you do have remedies in state court to take your ex back to court to enforce a divorce court order. While going back to divorce court for contempt will have the most teeth, small claims court might also be worth a trr. There you can proceed to a second lawsuit for wage garnishment if you can first get a money judgment and your ex is making a good income at a steady job.

None of these, however, will magically produce money where no money exists. If your ex is too poor to pay, you may therefore be wasting your time, no matter what you do. The good news, however, is that you have a constitutional right to use the US Bankruptcy code to discharge medical debt, as well as most other types of debt, regardless of your ex's failure to live up to his divorce court obligations.
