 Collecting back alimony
What is the name of your state?The state of decree is Oregon but living in California with sister. My sister is living with me since a tragic massive stroke 2 and a half yrs ago. I brought her down to California after her husband put her into a nursing home because he didn't want to take care of her! He filed for a divorce and, had her served in the nursing home all the while she couldnt walk or talk and thought her family wouldnt find out! Well, I did and went directly to Oregon and after filing the response myself in long hand and standing in the line to see the judge and then filing it, retained an Attorney, she was awarded an equity settlement and alimoney for life, his or hers which ever is first. But she has only seen 3 months worth Feb thru May 04,since it was automatically taken when the house was sold and she was given her equity. He has retained physical but joint custody of their 11 yr old daughter whom he is supposed to be covering with medical insurance and isnt! In the decree it states that my sister has to pay 30% of what the insurance doesnt pay, well, he never attained any insurance and took the child to an orthodontist to get braces and sent us the bill for half! When I balked at this and told him first of all, she doesn't pay half and second of all he is supposed to have medical insurance! He just stated that he would just take it out of her alimony and hasn't sent her anything!! I or she rather cannot afford an Attorney to rectify this situation and , dont know what our options are? Does anyone know or have any help, my sister is on disability as she never worked she was a fulltime mom and we are in California! ! thanks/Ok well, erery time I have used this site I have been disappointed so dont bother answering! I guess this isnt the site for me or I am again not interesting enough for you people! It was worth a try, goodbye!
