Q: Unpaid, wage garnishment alimony from Boeing/ex husband
August -2nd alimony ( court ordered, wage garnished )pmt missed on Aug 17th.
Ex states it was taken out of his chk. No proof of that.
I have tried for 22 days to find resolution through him and Boeings "Work-life". Both - no help.
How do I get this resolved since clearly my ex isn't taking this seriously?
Can I hire an attorney and make him pay for it?
What do I do?
A: In California, you have the right to pursue enforcement of a court-ordered alimony arrangement. You may consider filing a contempt action against your ex-spouse in the appropriate family court. The court has the discretion to award attorney's fees in contempt actions, so it is possible, but not guaranteed, that your ex-spouse could be ordered to pay for your attorney's fees should you prevail in court. To start the process, consult with an attorney to review your case's specific details and guide you on the best steps to take based on the current circumstances.
