I'm a resident of one State, my ex another. The divorce is through my State. Our divorce includes his paying me child support as well as half of joint bills from our marriage. I was told that if he doesn't pay child support there are ways to get help, even if he is out of State. (He does not pay.) BUT, I was told that if he does not pay any of the other money the court says he owes me, while I can file for contempt of Court, the court can not do anything as he is out of State. So simply put, no matter what the Court decides he has to pay, he will never be held to it. This does not sound right to me. Does anyone know if this is true? Or is there a way I can enforce our legal agreements? I don't think he should be above the law...
