My husband was married for 3 years and they lived in Fl. where their divorce is filed. The ex had an attorney friend draw up agreement papers which he signed because she threatened not to actually give him the divorce if he did not agree to her terms. The agreement basically left him with all of the marital debt plus having to pay her 1000.00 per month. When I met him, he had been divorced for 1 1/2 years and we are now married with a baby due in August. She continues to call and expect him to fork out more and more money, which we do not have. I became aware of the situation when I started getting calls from creditors about diliquent accounts. He has paid her well over 30,000.00 over the past 2 1/2 almost 3 years and we feel that this needs to come to an end. She did not work and contribute to anything during their marriage except running up the credit card bills. She since has earned her PhD. in psychology and is teaching at a university in New York. We would like to know where to start with the process of modifing the agreement due to change in income and educational status. My husband makes less than he did before and we are on the verge of having to file bankrupcy because of this situation. She continues to call and harrass and threaten my husband about paying her more money. I just need some advice about where we should start with the process...we have not paid her for the months of June and July and do not plan on paying her until something is done about the situation. I think it is crazy that he ever had to pay her any alimony due to the fact that they had a short term marriage. Does anyone have any advice? She's threatened to sue him for being in default of their agreement, but she will not get anything, we don't have anything for her to take. ( I should also add that we also have a 4 year old daughter that I had before I met him. I am concerned about my family's future.)
