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.


Irrelevant. He signed an agreement to pay a settlement and it's time to pony up.


This!

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.


He may not have the money yet and he has to pay heavy taxes.


Then he shouldn't have proposed that settlement, and yet, he did.


So, you are basically saying that OP and her ex had no money or assets to split and OP was greedy by demanding part of his inheritance. It can take months to years to get inhertance and that assumes an honest executor.

You don't need an attorney to file a judgment against him. Call the court house where your divorce was granted. They will walk you through on how to file.

Get a judgment for the deficiency. If he really has millions, view it as an investment because post judgment interest rates can be crippling, certainly better than any CD you can find

You should be able to recover your attorney's fees to enforce the property division. My MSA includes a clause that the breaching party pays attorney's fees.

Maybe OP could call the court and find out how to file. Clerks are often very helpful.

OP didn't say they were. They said that the ex is refusing to release assets that they were entitled to, and that ex is court ordered to hand over, and that the problem isn't that the assets were spent, because ex has other resources.

This is really lousy, OP. It seems straightforward enough that maybe you could file without an attorney? I don't have experience though.

I spent a fortune on the divorce without good results so really don't have any money (or much) to hire an attorney to manage this issue.

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.
