My ex owes back support of $3,200 and is ordered to pay $100 monthly, we noticed when he missed a month that it jumped to $3,300 should it have stayed at the $3,200 if this money is for the back support? All his kids are of age!
No domestic violence is involved, just verbal, mental abuse, and he is very controlling and I can not take it anymore.
He is a punk. We have been married 37 years.

No. Have the court to appoint a warning order attorney or a guardian ad listen. It is a conflict of interest to use the POA in the divorce and the judge will never allow it.

This question was asked in KY divorce section and you appear to be from PA. I can only provide general advice regarding the law in KY.

The agreement is a contract and if your brother has held up his end of the bargain, he can probably enforce it. That being said, her names is on the deed. Did she sign a hit claim deed transferring her interest back to your brother pursuant to the agreement? If so, I’d say he pretty much wins.

He pack up and left last Thursday while I was at work, and has cut off all communication. I need help getting my 3yr old baby back as soon as possible. If he is at work, and my baby is left with someone, will the police make them give her to me?

Hire a private investigator or follow him to and from work, see where he’s staying, then call the police and show them your order. Probably should alert your attorney and file notice with the court.
