QUESTION
What steps can I take if any to get my alimony payments?
Asked on Mar 17th, 2013 on Family Law - North Carolina
More details to this question:
My ex husband was fired in November and was denied his unemployment. My alimony is set at $400 per month with a property payment of $250 per month. He gave me $300 in December and nothing since. Since the divorce he married the lady he was seeing while we were still married. My question is what, if anything, can I do to get him to pay at least some of the alimony?

You can file for contempt against him. If he is not getting unemployment, then that tells me that he was fired for cause, and thus his income at his old job may be imputed to him to determine whether or not he can comply with the court order and be held in contempt. The threat of jail does a lot to help someone suddenly "find money" with which to comply with a court order.
