Question:
Is My Ex-Husband Guilty of Contempt of Court?
My divorce has been final for nearly two years. I have asked on several occasions for family photos that were I was awarded in the final divorce decree. I will not seek the help of the lawyer who "represented" me since I learned too, late he did not. I'm in Michigan.
I just want my pictures of my deceased mother and the children I gave birth to. There are also photos of my great grandparents, the only photos of them in existence in my family. What must I do to get him to comply with what was agreed to in the documents? Thank you for your time.

Answer:
Hi Joanne,
Since I'm not an attorney I can't give you legal advice. I can however tell you what I did in a situation similar to yours. If your ex is refusing to comply with the orders handed down by the court in your final decree of divorce he is clearly in contempt of court.
You do not need an attorney to file a petition for contempt with the courts, this is something you can do yourself as a...post continued
