Q: Can a divorce decree be enforced if the spouse hasn't adhered to the final decree if said spouse passes away
34yrs married, mental harassment to go get divorce, during the year and a half of going thru this, on top of kids and I doing repairs,painting, etc. to home to be put up for sale, and the deaths of my brother, my ids Sad and finally my Son. He has sold of assets, moved money around and other things...that I never thought he would do. So needless to say he took from me monetary security and won't do what court says. I'm not the kind of person to seek revenge but I'm struggling to live without small comforts, in a RV cuz he...? Took advantage with our home. I don't have money to get lawyer to get motion to enforce and I really just wanted him to keep his word. Don't want to cause him grief because of all the health issues he's going thru and the outlook is not good. This according to my daughter. So should I try before something happens to him? He'll just get angry again and scream and make me feel worthless. Any help would be so Great.
A: Rhonda, you really need a lawyer to help you with this! Many will let you pay the retainer in installments. Good luck to you.
