What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I have recently finished off paying support arrearages (alimony no child support) to my ex. The ex had a Notice to Withhold filed with my employer and the money was coming directly from my paycheck. The arrearages have been paid and I filed a motion with the Court, pro se, to have the ex's attorney submit a new Notice to Withhold and to refund the surplus in alimony that was paid to the ex. The judge approved my motion and signed a Court order for the ex to repay me within 3 days.
The ex's attorney filed the new Notice to Withhold as instructed but he claims my ex will not return his phone calls so he has had no contact to discuss the surplus reimbursement. The surplus in now at $2500.
My ex was notified by the Court of the Order but hasn't taken any action. I don't live in Colorado anymore where the divorce was granted and where my ex lives.
My ex doesn't work legally. Only gets paid under the table to avoid having me get alimony adjusted. I still pay $2000/month which is withheld from my paycheck and send to my ex so I can't withhold payment until it balances out and I can't attach wages.
1. What next steps do I need to follow in the legal process to get the surplus paid back to me? What actions can I take that might motivate my ex to pay. Any ideas are welcome. I truly appreciate the help.
Thanks.
