Q: my ex-husband signed and agreement to pay me 3500 dollars. He has done so. Is there anything I can do.
He signed an agreement to pay it in March of 2018. When every I say anything he just says he doesn't have it. He got everything in the divorce. We were married 37years
A:
Depending on the terms of the written agreement, you may be able to take him to small claims court to enforce the contract. If the contract was not a part of your judgment of divorce, it is not a family law matter and must be handled independently. If the contract was made a part of your divorce judgment, you would file a motion to enforce the judgment on the divorce case.
I would recommend seeking an attorney for additional information. Without seeing the contract, it is impossible to give a comprehensive answer.
