Alienation of affection

Dear teresabryant:

Greetings. Yes, it is possible for your husband to move and try not to pay a judgment that is entered against him. There are many ways a judgment can be enforced though, and generally other states will enforce our orders. So, even if he flees to another state, the order can follow him.

Wage garnishment is one method of enforcing an order, but that is mainly used for child support. Yes, if he has an outstanding order it may affect his credit in the future. If he does not pay the ordered amounts, the court has the authority to hold him in contempt and order his arrest. Best of luck.

  1. If my husband has an alianation of affection judgement made against him, he claims he will just move out of NC and refuse to pay. Is this possible for him to avoid payment? Will his wages be garnished if he works for a NC company? When he tries to purchase a house on credit will this judgment pop up to hurt him in the future? Are there any other ways this judgement will haunt him? Like warrant for arrest etc? He hasn’t faced the reality of his actions yet. Thank you for your prompt response.
