Portland, OR asked in Family Law for Oregon

Q: My ex owes me $37,300, he puts everything in wife's name.. can I attach or sue her as well to get the back support?

They pay a small amount to make sure cs can not enforce. So it keeps getting further behind. They have a huge income owning there own company, but refuse to get caught up at all or even pay the monthly amount. Everything is in his new wife name so they cant attach his belongings. I live in Oregon and they live outside Nashville..

A: If your ex spouse is fraudulently transferring assets to his current spouse in order to avoid his support obligation, you can sue both of them based upon the fraudulent transfers. Proving the fraudulent transfer may be difficult. That is your best option if you want to pursue a claim against the current spouse of your ex.
