Q: How do I file a ccivil suit in Jackson County, Mo. this concerns matters due to a divorce aggreement.
My ex husband agreed to pay a state tax bill within 30 days of dissolution and has not, he also moved my son out of school district without a 60 days notice and my consent. He is supposed to pay health insurance on my son and is not following through with this matter as well.
A:
You'll need to file a motion for contempt, or a motion to enforce the settlement agreement, or perhaps both. As far as "how" to do it, you'll need to preapre the motion(s), making sure that the allegations are sufficient to state a cause of action. Also, there will be some other forms that need to be prepared and filed. If you do it on your own, the Missouri Supreme Court requires you to attend an online litigant awareness program.
I would not suggest doing it on your own. You really should sit down with an attorney to go over the facts in more detail so that you can be better advised on how to proceed.
