Before I can take him to court. I know the steps on filing a motion to take action, but I can't till everything is removed from divorce papers
A: I'm not exactly clear on your question. I think you are asking how to get your ex to pay child support and medical expenses. In order to have your ex pay child support and medical costs you would have to file a motion to the court to get an order stating that he must pay. You should consider making an appointment for an attorney consultation to review the issues in your case and file a motion.
A: You are completely misinformed. Trying to represent yourself in any legal proceeding, especially a family matter is unwise, to put it charitably. You need an in person consultation with an experienced matrimonial attorney, who can review all previous legal proceedings and documents. Then the attorney will be able to advise you how to proceed. You need to ask yourself, can I afford not to have an attorney? Good luck.
