Enforcing a Divorce Judgment

[pursaa]

I was divorced years ago. My Ex was allowed to stay in my house that was mine before the marrage (and I lost half in the divorce) until my son was 18. That was 4 years ago. My ex asked to stay until my son finished getting his GED (he was taking classes at that time). I told her that would be fine as long as she was willing to pay $600 a month for rent. She said she could not afford it. I said she could pay from her half of the sale of the house.

Since then she has been avoiding me. Every time I bring up buying her out or selling the house, screams & yell then will not answer my calls or call me back. She is refusing to let me buy her out or move so I can sell it.

What can I do? :cry:

[Mr. Knowitall]

It sounds like you need to bring a motion before the court which issued the divorce judgment, asking for enforcement of that judgment in relation to the house.

Could I sue for the cost of having to go back to court and paying for attorney fees?

[Mr. Knowitall]

You can request attorney fees. It will be up to the court to decide whether an award of fees is warranted.
