Product Description

Being involved in a court trial over alimony payments is not a question of 'IF' but 'WHEN'. Unless you are well off, a time will come when you will be unable to make your payments and you will be held in contempt of court for falling behind. Then what will you do? If you can't afford legal counsel, you are at the opposition's mercy. This guidebook can almost certainly change the dynamics of your case from one of defending yourself to that of going on the offense and holding your ground. Doing so can possibly save you a lot of money and keep you out of jail. With Florida used as an example and easy to understand layman's language, it takes you step-by-step, from start to finish to show you what you will be facing and how to handle it. It covers such topics as: strategies to avoid contempt and going to jail; types of documents you will encounter; tips and methods of preparing documents; obtaining your ex-spouse's financial information; how to prepare for the court trial; and much more.

Book Review
Although most of us will never want to be in a situation where a contempt order is issued against us, we can never predict if a change in our financial circumstances may put us in such peril. This book not only defines the different types of contempt orders that are commonly issued in divorce cases, but it shows clearly and thoroughly how to deal and how to fight them in court. Another must have book for the collection of the divorcees.
