Thank you, Janet. Does the court have to order that? Or, if, in mediation, he agrees to paying me a monthly amount, do we then present that to the court or something, to get it on file? ---

Dear The Mommy, After the mediation if you agree the two of you will likely enter into a consent order. This will become a binding order of the court which you will be able to enforce. Helena M.

My STBX served me with absolute divorce on 10/31. I answered, with complaint for equitable dist. of DEBT ($78K, unsecured.) When this finally gets through mediation, say he just doesn’t agree, and we end up before a judge with this … How do they make him pay? His credit stinks. No one will finance him for anything. He is working barely, but not enough to convince a lender to loan him $39K for 1/2 this debt I’ve been paying since he left. What are HIS options? I need to know WHAT END he could be looking at, so I can plan accordingly. Thanks[?]
