My husband friend has a notarized letter saying that if my husband cannot make payments then the house will be return to the friend. Also the house is in my husband name. I did not sign any papers.
It's impossible to answer without more information. It depends on whether on whose name the house is titled in. You should consult with an attorney about your specific case.

What do I do? The judge ordered him to pay an exact amount of my attorney fees and I paid the rest. Now he isnt paying and my attorney is trying to make me pay saying that he isnt so now I have to. Even though he signed an agreement and so did a judge. The case has been closed for over a month.
You will always be responsible for the attorneys fees to your lawyer. When he pays, you should get reimbursed. If he is in contempt, you can always file for contempt.
