Home'scool Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My lawyer is on vacation until Monday, so just looking for some quick information. The good news is, my Temporary Support Order finally came through, and I got everything I asked for. I was thrilled to start getting some influx of cash so I could breathe a little easier on a day-to-day basis. The bad news is the my STBX immediately texted me saying that he sent me a check, but then decided to freeze it because "there is way too much that still needs to be figured out here." I have no idea what that statement means, but I did text back and say that the judge has determined what is to be done so there is nothing left to be figured out and that I would be contacting my lawyer. His whole argument at the hearing is that the house is not sold yet (he was the one who dragged his feet for a year now) and that until it is sold there is not enough money to go around. He is currently paying all the expenses for the house and is living there. The house is finally due to be on the market next week. I know he is just freaking out about the amount he is supposed to be paying me. It is a hefty amount but after a year of him spending money on his latest girlfriend and his expensive biking hobby and going on trips..... I really don't care. So, anyone been through a contempt order with the Family Court before? What can I expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don't know, but I hope you can bill the extra legal fees for having to drag your lawyer back in for something already decided by the judge. Hopefully the judge changes it to come straight out of his paycheck as a wage garnishment from now on. Then there's no way he can cancel it. Sorry you're having to deal with all of that. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessa516 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) *sigh* Yep. It will probably depend on the laws in your state. In my state, I was able to show that he wasn't paying and the state took care of it. Once he was so many months or dollars behind (I'm sorry, I can't remember which), the state finally processed a wage garnishment. I think it took 4 to 6 months for everything to get straightened out.

MinivanMom Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The process may differ slightly depending on your state so you really need to consult your lawyer. I know it's frustrating to wait until Monday, but prepare to be even more frustrated while waiting for either mediation or a court date to be scheduled (depending on the process in your county/state) before they can even address contempt. Prepare to pay your lawyer even more money to sort this all out. I would suggest looking into whether your state will take the support directly from ex's paycheck. Some jurisdictions will garnish wages automatically, while some require evidence of noncompliance. Be sure to save all documentation of ex's noncompliance in case it is needed in court. That means both the paper trail for the frozen check and saving & taking screen shots of his texts. I'm so sorry you're going through this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Are you sure he stopped the payment on the check, or could he be bluffing, assuming you'd believe him and tear up the check? If you have the check in hand, can you bring it to that bank and see if you can cash it? It's a long shot, but you never know. Edited to add -- Whatever you do, don't give the check back to your ex.

gingersmom Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Unfortunately this non paying scenario happens all the time, in my experience.

Home'scool Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I received the check in Saturday's mail. I called the bank that it would be drawn on and they said there was enough to cover it. Unfortunately the bank was already closed so I deposited it through my phone with my banking app. So far it hasn't cleared yet because it takes a business day or so but I am hoping it clears. I plan on using this to tell the lawyers to have the amount taken from his pay. I am not going through this constantly. I am also taking this as a good sign from the court that when it comes time for the permanent court order they will give me the same amount (35% of the difference in our salaries) because I can't imagine the court will offer less. At that point I am also going to ask for 35% of his bonuses and a portion of the equity in his parent's house which his name is on. During mediation I was only asking for 32.5% of the salary and nothing else. But because he kept insisting this was a child support case only (meaning he would pay child support for about 2 more years and that's it) and dragged us to court I am going for the whole shebang. The best part of the temporary order, other than the hefty amount he has to pay every week, is that the last line the judge wrote was "Neither party will pay the other child support." So like I have been trying to say all along, THIS IS NOT A CHILD SUPPORT CASE!!! He lost on everything he asked for. I am assuming his lawyer does not know he tried to freeze the check because that would only make her look bad in front of the judge. She will have to stand there and try to explain why they are going against his court order. Judges do not like that. I also spent the weekend fretting that he might appeal, but then I realized that in order to appeal there has to be some change in the details of the case. You can't just tell the judge you don't like what he says! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home'scool Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yup, he filed a motion to vacate the judge's orders. He is still insisting there is not enough money to go around as long as the house is not sold. Ironic, because he is the one who would not put it on the market until now. He also said in the letter to the judge that the expenses I listed out were "imaginary" because I have not actually paid my sister any rent. Hello!? His whole family had to move in with my sister without receiving any support from him. THAT is why I am not paying rent! As soon as he pays me I will start paying rent. I literally do not know this man anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like another delay tactic. Did the check clear yet? I hope your attorney makes it plain to the judge that xh had the choice of dates to put the house on the market, and could have done so much sooner. I'm guessing the judge will be unhappy about the questioning of judgment, and hopefully this will strengthen your position. What a bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) . I understand being angry. But it still doesn't make it fair to your in-laws. You weren't married to them, but you would be asking for part ownership of their home because you want revenge against your husband. I'm sorry, but I think that's a rotten thing to do. Why would you want to hurt your in-laws in this way? Why would you want to involve them in your divorce? The thought of losing part ownership of their home will be so stressful for them. Why would you put them through that? I have been completely sympathetic toward you all through this horrible mess you've been going through, but I think your bitterness is blinding you from seeing that what you're doing regarding your in-laws' home is just plain wrong. I understand your anger, but I don't think your in-laws' home should be part of your divorce. (Edited to delete quoted post because homes'cool deleted her post for privacy.)

Catwoman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I agree with you wholeheartefly, and yes, you DO have the right to ask for a share of the parents' house. If it was acquired during your marriage, then you have a claim to it. If his parents are still alive and living in the house, it seems so morally wrong to even think of asking for partial ownership of that house.

goldberry Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My friend inherited quite a bit of money from her mother the year that she and her husband were divorcing.

Catwoman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 No. It is not "punishing" the ex-in-laws. More than likely ex will buy out her portion of the ownership, giving her more $$$ in the divorce settlement. This is a very common occurrence, and not at all out of bitterness or revenge. She has already said it's out of bitterness. Here's the thing. My dh's name was always on his mom's house and on all of her accounts, but it was her house and her money. His name was on them for convenience, but he didn't touch the money or have anything to do with the house. If dh and I had gotten divorced, technically I could have asked for a quarter stake in my MIL's house and for a quarter of the money in her accounts because technically my dh owned half of her house and his name was on her accounts. But I knew it was her money. I KNEW it. So it would have been 100% wrong for me to have even threatened to try to take any of it from her. And that's the situation here, as far as I can tell. She KNOWS it's his parents' house. And it's not right to threaten to try to take partial ownership of their home. I don't care about the legality. It's just not morally right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happened and you posted about it here, I can almost guarantee you that just about everyone would be posting to support you and saying how horrible it was that he was dragging your poor parents into your divorce and trying to steal their home away from them. I don't know how you feel about your in-laws, but please know that you will be both hurting and frightening them if you use this "negotiation tactic." I won't post about this again, but I hope you'll think long and hard before you do this to your in-laws. I do wish you the very best on everything else, though. Your dh is behaving so badly and I do understand why you want to fight as hard as you can for what is rightfully yours. I just don't think any part of his parents' home is part of what's rightfully yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I don't know why you seem to be assuming that OP's situation is similar to yours. Maybe the home was inherited years ago and is just used as a rental property at this point. I'm assuming his parents are still alive because when I responded to her posts and mentioned her in-laws, she didn't say they were dead. Whatever the case, I have made my point as best I could, and home'scool can ignore it if she'd like. I realize that different people will have different opinions on this type of situation. (Edited for clarity -- I hope! :) ) Edited March 21, 2017 by Catwoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
