Separation agreement

If there is a legal contract between the two of you and he is not honoring it, then you would file a lawsuit for breach of contract. In the Complaint you would allege all the things that he is supposed to do and all the things that he is not doing. Hopefully, your agreement contains a provision requiring him to pay your attorney’s fees.

You can also contact Child Support Enforcement and they will pursue child support on your behalf. However, it is likely they will pursue the amount required by the guidelines, which may be different than what is in your agreement.

Hi wfmom
This is a contract if he and you signed and had it notarized this is iron clad I had the same thing with my EX and see lost. In mine it was great that she did I would have had to give her med for life now nothing lol just because she wanted more old saying won the battle but lost the war

My husband and I signed a separation agreement in March 06. Within the agreement he agreed to relinquish all rights to our house and to sign a quit claim deed. He also agreed to child support and other items.

He now refuses to sign the quit claim deed. And is behind on Child support.

The agreement was not prepared by a lawyer but is notarized and on file with wake county registar of deeds.

How can I petition the courts so a judge can enforce the terms of the agreement?
