I was married 32 yrs. I have been divorced almost 1 year. My ex has not paid maintenance in 6 months. I hired a lawyer 3 months ago & he still has not been served with papers for Contempt of Court. He quit his job of 10 years (wages were garnished) & got a job out of state. He still lives in Missouri, just comutes to East St Louis. He took everything I owned in the divorce & left me with a twin mattress. He told the judge he sold everything & he thought that would keep him from paying maintenance. He took out his 401 K & bought his girlfiend (20 yrs younger than me, & had dated my son & tried to date the other) From what I am told, the judge saw through him & awarded me with a decent support. I worked all but 4 years of the marriage & 26 yrs made more money than he did. I have MS now & having a rough time working. I work 1 full time job & 2 part time = 80-84 hrs a week, just to make enough to pay 2/4 of my bills. My age & health has made it so I may have to quit the full time & 1 part time job. If that is the case I will not have enough money for a roof over my head, etc. I can not offord the new medicines the doctor has prescribed. My son lent me the money to retain a lawyer & the rest goes on my charge that had a "0" balance, now over $2000 but as far as I know nothing has been filed. What can I do to speed things up ? Or can I do on my own to get the judge to hear me?
