Asked on Apr 20th, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
The court order for us to come to an agreement. My ex husband never complied with what the Court order him to do, to pay for my half of taxes, sign his half of paperwork. The alimony supports sometimes he does not pay, I am tired. I need an attorney who can enforced and divorce me for good. Can I ask the court to make him pay for the attorney fees?

Under the circumstances disclosed it would be very reasonable for you to ask, and for the court to grant a request that he pay your attorney's fees. I believe your best bet would be to engage attorney to compel him, it is called a motion to show cause, to fully comply with the court's previous orders.

Yes, contact a couple attorneys in your area about helping you put together the paperwork to request that your ex pay a retainer in order for you to have legal assistance before your case is finalized. Do this right away.
