Hello Cynthia Grieco. How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
hello I have a question I spoke to the clerk in Pasco county Florida. I have filed papers against my ex-husband for arrears and alimony. All my papers are correct from mass I live in Massachusetts he lives in Florida, so I domesticated. Everything is fine. I am missing one paper she said it’s a motion to explain what I want. I cannot figure out what that motion would be.
Hello Cynthia Grieco, it sounds like you might need a 'Motion for Contempt' or 'Motion to Enforce'. These are typically used when one party isn't following the court order, like not paying alimony. Here are some points:
- It should detail how the other party has violated the court order.
- Specify what relief you're seeking.
- It might require a hearing.
Please consult with an attorney to ensure you're filing the correct motion.
That does sound right that is the first paper that I printed out because here in Massachusetts he is in contempt in the judge here wrote on the paper here, contempt, with enforcement and writ of execution
It sounds like you're on the right track, Cynthia. You may need to file the same 'Motion for Contempt' in Florida where your ex-husband resides. Massachusetts laws might not apply directly there. It's best to consult with an attorney familiar with Florida's laws.
I think that’s it all the clerk in Fla said was file motion for what I want. Does that mean what I want diarrheas and life insurance policy all this was in my judgment
Hello Cynthia, it appears there might be a typo in your question. If you're referring to arrears and a life insurance policy, those could indeed be included in a 'Motion for Contempt' or 'Motion to Enforce'. It's important to be specific about what you're seeking. Do consult with an attorney to ensure accuracy.
Perfect so everything I want put into that motion or is
Yes, Cynthia, you should include everything you're seeking in the 'Motion for Contempt'. Be clear and specific about the arrears, life insurance policy, or any other items in your judgment that have not been complied with. Consulting an attorney will ensure the accuracy and completeness of your motion.
OK I think I got it right it all goes on one motion, correct
That's correct, Cynthia. All of your requests should go on one 'Motion for Contempt'. Make sure to include all details of non-compliance with the judgment. Always, consult an attorney to ensure you've covered everything.
