What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My ex-wife is asking for maintenance, half of my pension payments, and a disposition on our house. what's the legal remedy I have to avoid this?
The divorce judgment was June 8 2011, I was granted custody of our then seven year old son. The ex-wife left the home in Dec. 2009, I had no knowledge of her whereabouts until Sept. 2010 from our daughter. at that time she was staying at home with us from school. I attempted twice to have Her served by the sheriff's office Sept. 2010 and Nov. 2010 with no response. in Mar. 2011 I filed publication. judgment made June 8 2011 from then the next time I saw her I told her twice we were divorced, and she could get copies of the decree from the clerk's office, which She did not, after months of her walking in and out of the house at random days and times, I told Her that she has to call to let me know when She wants to visit, she flat-out says that she don't have to answer to me, that she can come and go as She pleases. After months more of that I finally told her I will file for an order of protection. She returned later with the local police to enforce her comings and goings. I allowed the officer to review my copy of the decree, which states we are divorce, I have custody of our son and the house; and visitation and child support is reserved. I filed for child support in May 2013 with DFS which was only $35.00 weekly, set by the judge at the time. There is no order for visitation. My ex-wife files on June 21, 2013 for disposition of the house, half of my pension and maintenance. What can I do.
