Try writing it up as a motion and filing it in your divorce court. I'm not sure if such a motion would be granted.

About when will I get my payment. As they don't know what can I do about this
answered on Oct 13, 2016
Unfortunately I am not sure what your question is. I think you may be asking when will you get your settlement check. If that's your question then you should ask your lawyer, if you have one, or the claim adjuster that you settled with.
They are ready to have him sign the final paperwork and issue the check but he I'd in jail what do I do to act on his behalf
answered on Oct 13, 2016
If the case is settled and the check has been issued then all you have to do is deposit the check in his bank account. If the check was issued to both his lawyer and himself thus requiring a counter signature, then the lawyer can visit your son at the jail to obtain your son's signature.

When you file the lawsuit against the insurance company under the rules governing discovery you will have the right to receive the transcripts.

Do not take your name off the stocks. Removing your name may cause the trustee to act. Depending upon the amount you can use your wildcard exemption to protect the stocks.
