Suffolk County, Long Island, NY
Generally speaking, when someone violates the court orders they are considered to be in contempt of court. To enforce your rights you will need to file a motion for contempt (may also be called an motion to show cause). In that motion you indicate what the orders are and how he has violated them.
You can typically pick the forms up at the clerk of the court's office and file them yourself.
I hope that the information which I provided was helpful to you.
I will pay another fee if needed..... let me know.
I believe this has nothing to do with the Divorce aggreement.
In 2003 I helped my Ex by getting Suffolk County Support Collection off his back. In late 2008 he didn't send money, due to a job change' to Albany. In turn they put a hold on his checking account and threatened to take his drivers license.
I helped by requesting the Restraining order on his checking account be lifted and I requested (at EX's and 5 childrens pleading) to be removed from the Collection and take payment directly from him.
I agreed to settle on $61,000 in arrears for child support/alimony and collect directly from him. Child Support said it was out of their hands and I was personally responsible to keep after him to get the money.
As mentioned, he paid in 2003 and stopped in early 2004 when he lost his job; he notified me he would start repaying when he got a job.
I gave him enough time to get on his feet and he is doing well financially. But he is playing dumb right now, offered me $10,000. to end it all.
I found out he bought a 45 ft boat for $60,000; sleeps 6 and he plans to dock in FL somewhere and spend part of the time doing his work there for a "Company" he says makes him travel alot. (I am not supposed to know about the Boat)
He lives near Bovina Center, NY where he has a PO Box. I moved from West Islip, NY to Staten Island, NY since Sept. 2008
A is a modification? For suing for the money owed if he rejects paying me back?
The debt collection is no longer under the jurisdiction of Suffolk County Collection Agency... (Child Support Division) it is between 2 private parties now.
As I already told you, in 2003 he had a freeze on his checking acct. from Child Support Collection and he begged me to get it lifted and I dumbly helped him and signed paper that I would collect any arrears owed me directly from him. I gave you the history in my previous response.
Sorry if by giving you history to how I was owed the money; I have you believing otherwise or have caused confusion.
He lives near Bovina Center, NY where he has a PO Box. I now live in Staten Island, NY since Sept. 2008
My original question> My Ex owes me $44,000...
IF He refuses to pay me the $44,000 he owes me and I decide to sue him ; what court, and what county do I file in? Can I use a Court Mediator?
What Court helps me get my $44,000 back? I know it's not small claims.
