    Default Can I Recoup Part of Divorce Settlement

    My question involves divorce in the State of: Florida

    I was divorced two years ago. My Ex was supposed to give me a full settlement; however, he couldn't afford to refinance the house for the full amount due to me, so part of it ($25,000) was to be part when our family house was refinanced or sold. This is written in the divorce settlement.

    The problem is that he foreclosed on the house and the bank bought it back for $100 (I was second below the mortgage company). My question is: Since this is part of the property settlement, can I recover it by going after his wages via garnishment or his bank account?

    You should file a contempt motion and ask the court to order wage garnishment.
