What Recourse do I Have?

Q: My ex has breached an In-Court Stipulation of Settlement signed on December 12th, 2023. According to the stipulation, my ex had until March 12th, 2024, to sell our marital home and pay me 45% of the net equity. I returned to court on December 9th, 2024, to enforce the stipulation and seek the sale of the property.

A second judge heard my Order to Show Cause on December 9th, 2024, in Bronx Supreme Court, but has still not issued a written decision. In the meantime, my case (and possibly others) has been reassigned to another judge, Judge #3. Judge #3 is now in possession of both court transcripts and affidavits from both parties and has scheduled a conference for my case on April 1st, 2024. What recourse do I have?

A: There’s no recourse yet – as you’ve filed your motion. The Judge ultimately needs to rule on the motion & possibly conduct a hearing on whether there has been a willful violation – and if so, what penalty to impose. Call a Bronx Divorce Attorney to schedule a consult for a full assessment.
