I got divocred in 2006 and in the divorce decree my ex was responsible for paying a loan off. I am the Primary on the loan so therefore the responsibility as far as the financial institustion is on me. Since he doesn't care about his credit he did not pay on the loan and we haven't spoke since the divorce until I was served papers in 2007 to appear in court since the acct was in default. I appeared in court and also spoke to my ex after the hearing. Via phone an agreement was made with the lawyer and financial institution and my ex that he was going to make payments on this loan until paid in full. Payments were to begin Aug 2008. He didn't make the first payment until Dec 2008 then Feb, May and June of 2009. So since the agreement with the lawyer and financial inst he had only made 4pymts then stopped. I had been contacting my ex each month to see if he was making the payments and of course he stated he was. I felt I needed to contact the financial inst to make sure and that's when I was informed that he hadnt made a pymt since june 09. I was never informed by them since they only had his updated information. I am now taking him back to court to see what can be done since he is not holding his part of the decree. (Contempt in Court) He tells me that he is not going to show up...Can he jsut get away with this? Is there any thing else I need to do when I take him to court other than have the proof that he hasnt made the pymts? I kept my end of the decree and he hasnt. Will I be wasting my time taking him to court? I would hate to have to go thru all this again and nothing be done. Ont op of it all im due to deliver in about 4 weeks. What stress. Please any helpful advice or tips would be apprecitated.
