I am in TN.
My ex and I have been divorced for 1 year and a few months - the separation and divorce was long and dramatic.
Ok to my point....he is now serving me with papers that state Contempt of Court of my part about money I owe him from our divorce papers. OK.. First he has been out of country and he moved with no forwarding number or address until January when he sent me a letter with the new address.
It is a very long story and now he wants to put me in jail (comtempt of court) unless I pay for the money I was willing to pay anyway and HIS attorney fees for this process. I have the money to pay him and I have offered the money to his attorney and he still wants to take me to court to get his attorney fees. Keeping in mind I have had the money all along but had no idea where he was.
I WANT to represent myself....but I need to know the exact steps and procedures to file a Motion of Continuance. I need to do this soon. Anyone know anything about this stuff?
Can I file a Motion of Continuance in a Comtempt of Court case?
Also, if this does go to court, I want it thrown out and put in Samll claims court because the amount ...even with attorney fees, is small enough to go to small claims court. I would like answers to both these questions if possible.
