Contract & Support

State of Pa. May, 2000 pool was installed at my residence. In June of same year my wife and I seperated. After I vacated the premisies, she had a landscaper come in to do the pool area. There was no signed agreed between the landscaper and myself. The total bill was $3,000. She has paid half and I am now being sued by landscaper for the remaining half. Prior to this, a few years ago, we had the same landscaper do some work for us. There was only a verbal agreement for that work. However, the the situation is different now. When we were in court to establish the amount of support for the children, the subject came up and the court noted that this would have to be settled by equitable distribution. It is my understanding that this would be taken care of at the time of divorce, when the property is sold. Please help.
