I've Come Full Circle 19

[kat727]

That's the thing, I thought I was pretty much passed him being a thorn in my side and then he pulls this! I called HR and they got me in touch with someone at the Employee Assistance Program. I told him what was going on and he said it sounds like you need to talk to a lawyer, would you like to. I said sure.

Well even though he is in a differnt state than me, he gave me some advice. He said if I needed to I could get a petition of contempt out for him and he could even be arrested and serve jail time for not fulfilling his civil agreement. (sorry but there is some karma there folks.) Something similiar may happen just for him being behind on the maintenance. I asked if I shouldn't try to work out some sort of compromise so that we can get all these things paid for the time being. He said that would look better for me in court, even if ex doesn't want to work with me because at least I am trying to fix it first before crying to a judge.

He also said that ex could be forced into getting all of that debt into his name alone so that he couldn't hurt me only himself. I don't think a judge is going to like a 40 year old "man"(I use the term loosely) standing in front of him/her saying I just don't have it. Not a pretty sight!

I feel a little bit better. I will let ex know that I spoke with a lawyer today.
