Civil Contempt/Enforcement Papers


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Fl
I am in the process of filing contempt/enforcement papers on my x, I'm not sure if he is in
FL or NC and need to know the best way to have him served with the papers. Also could you please explain what this means. issuing a writ of possession for real property, writ for possession of personal property, or other appropriate writ.

issuing a writ of bodily attachment if the other party fails to appear at the hearing set on this motion.

I do not have the money to hire an attorney after my divorce so I am doing this on my own, any help would be appreciated. Thank youWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Does your ex have assets? If so, you can probably collect your attorney's fees as part of the judgment. That is, if you really have any hope of collecting at all.
