My ex and I bought a house close to his Military base,and after 6 weeks of being there,he cheated on me with some girl he met online,then took off. Leaving me with the house and all. I got him to pay for half of the house payment for a year until I get back on my feet. Now when he gets mad,he says well I don't have to pay,or if I date,he thinks he doesn't have to pay. This month he hasn't even paid it yet and it was due on the 1st on NOV! So he is already a month behind. Does he think he is GOD? I mean he is a control freak as it is,but will I be able to do something about it seriously? Someone said go to I.G? Is that right? What rights do I have without spending alot of money I don;t have on lawyers. We already have the court papers.
Thank you

Besides doing what the second poster said (complaining to his commander), make sure you get an order to garnish his wages and serve it to the military (serve multiple copies, make sure one goes to his commander) so that his wages can be garnished.
Also, you might try contacting LegalAid to see if they can help you with the paperwork at low or no cost.

If the cards are in your name, the credit card company doesn't care what the court order says. Their contract is with you and you will be held responsible. You will have to pay them and then take your ex to court to ger reimbursed.

Yes you do have the right to go to the IG, my friend did it due to her ex not paying child support, Just be ready to hear do you have a job are you looking for a job... why didn't he set up an allotment for the house payment? or why didn't you guys sell the house and split the money and you find something you can afford? I am so not trying to be mean, just asking.
I know you said you dont have much money but I would contact Legal aid to ask for help...
He just thinks he has the upper hand and now you need to have your order enforced and I would ask for an allotment.. although no one can force him to they can strongly suggest that he does the right thing, the Army frowns down on those who refuse to pay their bills.
Sorry!!!

He is counting on you not knowing how to work the system. Inform him with a registered letter, that unless he pays what the court ordered.....the next letters will go to his Commanding Officer, the Post Commander, the Inspector General......AND you will take him back to court. His choice. Give him three days from the receipt of your letter to comply......
If he fails to comply.....carry out your threat.....you are getting nothing......so you risk nothing
You might also consider restraining order to keep him away.....Control Freaks do not like to lose...... he may get little angry

You can have the court send a bench order to the Army Finance Center, along with a copy of the divorce decree so that the ordered amount can be garnished from his pay.

Talk to his commander, then talk to the Inspector Generals office on his post. While the court may have ordered a certain amount, military members are only required to pay a certain portion of their pay and allowances for child support.
The good news is, you get his housing allowance, cost of living allowance, and insurance for the kid. ( I think that's right, it may be more than that) You do have rights from his pay and allowances, just talk to the people that make it happen for you.

He is your ex-husband! Does the prefix "EX" mean anything to you? So he screwed around on you and you divorced him! Good for you! But you had to go the extra mile and have the 'court' order him to support you.... What's wrong? Having to stand alone and take care of your self just too much of a strain? I'll bet you expected him to treat you as an equal when you were married too! No wonder he screwed around on you! He's an *** ***** but you deserved him! Now go ahead, go the the Army and destroy his career!

Cheating on your spouse while in the military is against the (UCMJ) Uniform Code of Military Justice. Contact his company commander. They have to do something about it. (He'll basically get screwed. But, sounds like he deserves it)

Talk to his Commanding Officer first. More than likely that will have it taken care of and the Military will send you any and all money that is owed to you.

Contact the local JAG office. Bring your divorce papers with you. Once they review the documents, they will garnish his pay and you will receive a check until the obligation is fulfilled......
