My name is Jayne and I live in St Louis Missouri and I have a wave assignment on my ex husband for alimony. I haven’t received a check for two weeks but I just saw on the DSS website I was paid one week. How do I go about getting the one week he still owes me for
Hi Jayne. You can contact your local child support office in St. Louis, Missouri for assistance. They can help enforce the alimony order. You may also want to consider talking to a family law attorney for advice specific to your case.
I already called them and they told me they do NOT get involved
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Jayne. Since the local child support office is unable to assist, you may want to:
- Contact a local legal aid organization.
- Seek advice from a family law attorney.
- File a motion for contempt with the court for non-payment of alimony.
Okay I will see what I can do thank you
You're welcome, Jayne. If you need more legal information in the future, don't hesitate to contact us. Remember, it's important to act promptly to protect your rights. All the best.
