Re:Preparation for D50k enforcement hearing

Hello all. I divorced over a year ago and my ex husband and I agreed settlement between ourselves and had a consent order drawn up and sealed. He has defaulted on payment of capital and has paid none of the spousal maintenance agreed. I finally have a court hearing date to address both issues. I have never been to court before. Can anyone give general advice on what I should expect, do I need representation, what I should take with me, whether I will be asked questions etc? From what I have read I was expecting it to be more a case of the Judge establish get why he has not paid and how he is going to? I am petrified by the prospect of it! Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Hello Hondadriver - I handled my own divorce and child arrangement hearings without representation - I wont lie to you it is nerve wracking but the only thing I can say is that the courts have been through it all before - they are there to ensure fair hearing from both sides and you may be asked questions.. My over-riding advice would be to take every bit of paperwork with you you can (making sure its easily accessible if you get asked for something or need to find a particular document) also BE HONEST.. don't try and hide anything from the judge.
if you want to ask me anything please feel free ... Best wishes Larryg
