ask your clerk of circuit cort

Judges are not allowed to change the law.  They must hold to the laws as they were at the time.  Therefore, if there is a statute of limitations of 6 years, and this has past, then there is no legal standing for anyone to come after you for money.

I just love all these "pay the bills" answers!  Come on guys!  Didn't you read the part where he said he was unable to pay them for years?  Don't you think he would pay them if he could?  Sheesh!\n\ndbuitt22 is on the right track.  \n\nIf you filed for bankruptcy, it will appear on your credit report for the next 10 years.  In your situation BK is not the answer.\n\nStart by reading the links below, so you understand what the Statute of Limitations is.  After a certain period of time, you no longer have a legal obligation to pay those debts.  Therefore, the only issue you have with those older debts is that they are on your credit report.  If you wait a couple years they will drop off automatically.\n\nIf the debts are recent (2-4 years) you could consider contacting them to negotiate a payment plan.  \n\nBut bankruptcy?  Not in your case.  Never file BK for debts under $20k.  \n\nContact me if you need more specific advice.  I am not a lawyer or credit counselor.  Just someone who likes to fight with creditors.

Well if you worked it out then you already violated the order.  But any ways, go to the court that issued the order - contact the Judge and ask him to resend the order

This will be touchy.\n\nPlease don't take this wrong. \n\nI don't know if you can do anything about it or not, even with some legal help. The way everyone else is going to see it, is that you broke the law and went to prison. You could not pay the loan bills because you were in prison. You were in prison because of drugs, which is against the law. So, being that you can't pay a bill which you "voluntarily" took on by getting a student loan because "you" broke the law, then the collectors or whoever is not going to be merciful. \n\nPlease don't think I am being a butthole. I am in the military and after a couple of years, I understand how people of authority think. They don't care about how you got into the situation you are in or why. All they see is that you got yourself into it. They also know that you know right from wrong. So regardless of what you saw growing up, or if you come from a broken home, or if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time or whatever could have possibly led to your situation. All they think is, you are responsible for your own actions. \n\nSo in their eyes you are responsible for your debt. Regardless of what has happened from the time you took on the loan until now. \n\nLike I said, please don't take this wrong. I am not lashing out at you or against you. I am just telling you how they are most likely thinking. I am not judging you or condeming(sp?) you. \n\nSo seek legal help ASAP. I wish you luck.

Sounds like your attorney isnt doing the job you pay for.  \n\nIs there a court order for support?  Is it paid thru the county support office where you live?  Both of these should be true.  If they arent fix it.  \n\nCan you provide proof he has not been paying legally obligated support?  If so, no judge in the country will fail to order him to make good.  Likewise, failure to do so over a certain period or amount will result in the court taking action.  They can take his drivers license, and worse even put him in jail.  \n\nNo matter he is self employed.  You can go by his tax returns and the court will order him to produce the documents.  \n\ntry going to legal aid where you live\n\nI paid my support religiously for 15 years and never missed a payment.

I have been divorced 7 years and have received about $1000 dollars from my ex-wife. I have raised my son and daughter since they were 12 & 6. My son is now on his own and of course my daughter is still home. I have taken my ex to court 5 times and she still won't pay (it has cost me about $1,500). I have taken the action on my own since she doesn't seem to care. I made up excuses why they couldn't go over but soon relized that she didn't want to go to jail so she didn't do much. It is up to the courts to decide the ultimate outcome. Your children will figure out what is going on as they get older. I found out by speaking positive things about their mother all these years helped me not look like the bad guy. My children now understand what kind of person their mother is on their own. I pray for people like us to prosper in all ways despite having a parent not caring for their own children. GOD BLESS

you could probably go to court talk to a judge and work out some sort of payment plan and get it paid off in a year.

Ask your attorney.  Thats what you pay them for
444849
Under the laws that were established at the time the guidlines were set up - Yes. However, you may want to get an attorney and have your situation looked at again. If your children are with you a little less than half of the time than you shouldn't have to pay her but for the 5% of the difference. It may pay in the long run to hire an attorney.

More info required, before even a comment could be offered. Suggest you refer a good attorney, a.s.a.p., like maybe yesterday, so that the statuate of limitations, if applicable in your case does not come into force\n\nst/

You probably cannot get it lowered, but perhaps you can schedule payments.\n\nTalk to the Clerk of Courts to find out who to talk to about it.  Do it now before you get fined for not paying your fine.

I've assisted three different people (friends or relatives) with this same issue. The only difference is that they were resolved within one to two months of an employer refusing to pay them.\n\nThis is what I told them to do.\n1) Contact The Department of Labor and ask them for assistance (rules and laws) regarding how it is enforced in your state.\n*In Minnesota an employer not paying wages earned by an employer has severe penalties. This includes full payment within a given time period of reciept of notice. It also includes back wages for the duration of time they failed to pay you. So if you were in Minnesota the company would owe you X number of dollars for the entire time period from June until now. If you worked 40 hours per week, that would be 23 weeks worth of pay if they failed to pay you had you stopped working on June 1, 2006.\nThis can be negotiated and normally is, but legally you are entitled THAT amount of money due to their fault in not paying you in a timely fashion. By law (again, depending on which State) the employer owes you within a given time frame on you leaving. One week, two weeks... Whatever it is. So it could gain you earnings anywhere from 23 weeks, to a lesser number.\n\n2) Write a letter to the former employer stating what the law is and demand payment. Don't be mean, just clean, pure and simple. Per the law where you live,  calculate what you are owed and state it. Then show them the calculated total sum which includes penalties and late fees. (If it's $10.00/hour - based on a 40-hour work week, including the past 21 weeks [to be nice and earn favor with a Judge, subtract the first two weeks of them dragging their feet] and state they COULD owe you a minimum of $8,400.00 plus what they previously owed you). State that upon taking them to Court a Judge would decide in your favor for non payment of wages earned and they would also be responsible to pay for attorney's fees and Court fees. Remember, this is how it is in Minnesota so make darn sure you put in plain type the exact amounts owed to you per the law.\n\n4) After stating all the info above in the letter, my last paragraph included the following (minus the company name and dates):\n\nUnder Minnesota Statute 181.13, you are required to pay unpaid wages within 24 hours of receiving this letter.  Further delays will subject me to file a claim against (insert company name) per Minnesota Statute 181.14 Subdivision 2.  Penalties and fees will accrue upon receipt of this letter.  Failure to comply will constitute sending this letter to the organizations listed below on (state the day, date and year. Give them two days mail time.)\n\n4) At the bottom of your letter include the following info: (example)\n\nCc:\n(State) Department of Labor and Industry\nxxx  Road North\nCity, MN xxxxx\n\n(name of county) County Government Center\n(name of person you contacted), Court Administrator (Conciliation Court)\nxx Second Street NW\nCity, MN xxxxx\n\n(City name here) Chamber of Commerce\nPO Box xxx\nCity, MN zip code\n\nState the address for each place you are carbon copying! Make sure to include your name and address. No phone number.\n\nGood luck!

If you're married you should have accessibility to your wife's cell phone records.  This is assuming that you have the same last name and address.  Contact the cell phone provider and tell them that you haven't received you last 3 months of bills and have been calling in to get your balance to pay it.  Request that they mail, fax or email them to you (some have this capability).  Or another way is to tell them that the phone is predominately used for business for your company and you need to submit the detail billing (listing of calls made) to your company to get reimbursed.   You will have to have your information (or your wife's) ready verifying who you say you are.  Obtaining the records should be very easy.  Under the law you have this entitlement as you are viewed as single entity.  Unfortunately, I had to do this myself and the records blew the whole thing wide open for me.  Divorced 3 years now.  Good luck and make sure you're prepared as it may be worse than you imagined.

Her refusal or denial of payment needs to be brought to the courts attention. The court then can put a lien on her property and charge interest or change the amount awarded to you to a much higher one.And the bonus she will most likely be placed under arrest for contempt.

How on earth can a loan double and triple?  Have you made any payments?  Or is this what is now owed, since the lender had to take you to court?  Doesn't sound right at all...missing information, here.

Not necessarily. Keep going with your case. Talk to your lawyer.
