What can I do if my ex husband was ordered to pay me $100 a week for alimony and he failed to do so?

Patrick "Leh" Meriwether
Answered by attorney Patrick "Leh" Meriwether
Divorce lawyer at Meriwether Tharp, LLC
If your husband is refusing to abide by a court order, then you can file a contempt of court action against him. If he is employed, you can ask the Court for an income deduction order so that his employer removes the alimony directly from his paycheck. I usually recommend people not filing for contempt until the payor is more than 30 days late.

If I file for divorce because of my husbands drug use, will I be entitled to anything if he proves I had the opportunity to commit adultery?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Daniela Kristabell McCalla (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Groth, Makarenko, Kaiser Eidex, LLC
Generally, a spouse isn't entitled to alimony if it's established through presentation of evidence that the separation is due to the spouse's adultery. The bar to receiving alimony only applies if it is shown that the act of adultery was the direct cause of the separation between the two parties. A person commits adultery when he or she has sexual intercourse with a person other than his or her spouse. In your question you said that you had an opportunity to commit adultery.  The next question is whether you actually committed the act.  And if that act was committed, did that act cause the separation? Keep in mind that when determining whether to award alimony, the court will consider the conduct of both parties.

What can I do if my ex husband was ordered to pay me $100 a week for alimony and he failed to do so?

Generally speaking, there is a 30-day window for payments to be made without being considered delinquent. So two weeks or so would not qualify as contempt.
