Ex did not pay last of 3 installments of the property division (not alimony/support)

[Anonymous]

what does he owe you?
do you have access to the accounts to just wire yourself money, or transfer investments to your account?
did you contact court yet? what did they say?

OP -

He did obtain the money. He bought 50 acres of land and built a house, bought a car, lots of furnishings, etc etc. I saw his investment company statements during discovery.

The fact that he has to pay taxes on the money has nothing to do with it. The amount in the property settlement is much less than that and he agreed to pay it and is now in contempt of a court order.

If it’s his inheritance and you had no shared money during marriage why are you entitled to it?

Has anyone dealt with it, or have any experience? I made decisions related to him paying everything (went back to get a degree to re-invent my career at a late age so I can work until I am 75 or longer hopefully). This is devastating that he is not cooperating. I never expected that he would be so unethical. He inherited millions right after the separation, and thus he has the money. He does not work.

If there's a court order, you may be able to get your attorneys fees reimbursed for going to court to hold him in contempt.

+1. At the very least you need to have a consult on how the process works even if you represent yourself. It shouldn't be that difficult since you already have the judgment and a consult shouldn't cost you much.

Are you exceptionally dim?

We can see why you are divorced. If it is inheritance, its greedy to demand a part of it as its not your family money.

Thanks everyone.

I need to check to see if the agreement requires that breaching party pays for litigation to address such breach . I never should have signed this deal, I was a mess at the time due to games Ex was playing (and in retrospect should not be surprised that he would renege on legal commitments like this).

He doesn’t have the money. Millions to be inherited means nothing as he doesn’t not have that money.

Pretty sure the OP said he inherited the money after they separated so it seems unlikely he spent it all. Agree with the other PP that your settlement agreement likely contains an attorney fees provision to enforce the agreement so that's one option. A cheaper option would be to have DCSE enforce the child support amount.

Even if he had inherited it before they separated, she wouldn’t be entitled to a dime.

What does this have to do with parenting?

Evidentially a court disagreed with you so why post other than knee jerk misogyny?

Why are you doubling down on the dumb? Do you lack basic reading comprehension skills?

PP here and that's not true in all states by the way, there are a few that consider it as part of equitable distribution. As a broader point though OP only said she was entitled to some assets per her settlement agreement,such assets may or may not have been from the inherited monies but the inherited funds are subject to attachment to satisfy the judgment just like any other monies.

OP here - I never asserted a right to his inheritance.

The inheritance is only relevant to his ability to repay the contractual debt on marital property. We had a long grueling mediation that resulted in the marital agreement. The agreement was signed and the court integrated it into a judgment. He owes the money but refuses to pay it.

I’m not going to beat around the bush here, you may one of the dumbest posters to ever grace the pages of DCUM. The dumbest of the dumb.

You’ve had so many chances to think about the statements you are making and course correct and yet you keep coming back and doubling down.

Everything if just flying right over your head. Proof that stupid people honestly have no idea that they are stupid.

Mine owes me quite a bit of money. Since getting a judgment and filing a lien against his house, I've been approached by a few groups who want to purchase the judgment from me at a discount. I intend to sell it to them once our youngest child is 18 and in college.
