My ex was already ordered once to pay me 200 dollars a month towards a credit card bill of mine he ran up. He is down to 2400 dollars (from 12,000) and all of a sudden he stops paying! How do I go about getting back into court to get my money? I dont want to hire a lawyer. Thanks

Yep, Small Claims, if you know where to have him served. You can have his wages attached or a bank levy issued via a 'writ of execution.

either write the judge in the county where the order took place.
or call your ex and tell him u will file a petition at the courts if he dont finish paying u off.
At least he did pay right much off, maybe he is layed off at his job or some other reason.
U can get it back in the courts by just writing the judge.
Good Luck.

I have referred to a website, www.nolo.com. They are very helpful in getting generalized information. As for the state you are in, check with your courts, or just call up a lawyer to find out which way you should go. What it is going to boil down to is the court is going to garnish his wages and his tax returns. I don't think it is going to be too hard to prove your case, and the courts should judge for you. Good Luck!!!!

Legally I think this is the only way that you can do that.
unfortuantely I don't know any other way.
I wish you luck and the court order is not being fulfilled.
he can also be made to pay for the legal costs that you are accumulating.
Good Luck

you can do the paper work yourself and file it under small claims court, your local county courthouse can help, just tell them what you want to do and they will give you the correct paperwork. It will cost you but not as much as a lawyer. the fees you have in filing can also be put into the claim.

$2400 is usually small claims (depending on the jurisdiction you live in)...just go to the courthouse, get the requisite forms, pay the fee for filing and have the Sheriff of your county serve him with the suit. Pretty simple...good luck!

I'm by no means an expert in this, but I'd think that this would be a criminal case first, and not a civil case. I would think you could get him arrested by a criminal judge. If that doesn't work, move to the cival side of law. Good luck to you.

you can represent yourself (instead of a lawyer) Go back to court the judge may attach his pay if he has a court order against him

you will have to go to court to let them know that he has stopped paying, and the court will probably serve him with additional paper work to answer the charges of why he has stopped paying. Good luck.

I guess normal procedure and first step would be to go to the police as he is already in breach of a court order.
