Q: Good morning. I was divorced in 2013 our house in was supposed to be sold and monies split. Can I take him to court?
It was to be sold within a reasonable time period. He refuses to respond to any requests. It's in our divorce decree, I am having financial problems. I never got a walk through, he still has some of my property. I only want what is written.
A: Yes. If your ex spouse has failed to follow a provision in your Divorce Decree you can file a petition seeking to have him held in contempt. If successful a finding of contempt will force him to do what he has not done and may entitle you to attorney fees as well. You should get with an attorney as soon as possible to address this issue.
