QUESTION
If it wasn't in the original divorce decree, am I required to pay my ex wife?
Asked on Jul 16th, 2013 on Divorce - Nevada
More details to this question:
I divorced in 2005 but missed the date for the signing over of my house with the lawyer. The lawyer sent paperwork requesting I start paying my ex-wife the 10,000 that we agreed on I would pay upon the sale of the house. Was this legal since it wasn't in the original decree?

You are bound by the terms of the original order. However, if you failed to comply with the terms of that order, you could be held in contempt of court for your failure to comply with the terms of the order. As such, you really need to sit down with an experienced family law attorney in your area who can advise you regarding the terms of the order and your compliance with it.

To be enforceable, there must be an Order or it must be ordered in the Decree.
