I have two judgments against my ex husband, as well as several things he was court-ordered to pay at our last court appearance in 2010. He has been self-employed and provided self-prepared financial documents to the court as proof of his income (claiming he made less than minimum wage). He has not paid any judgment nor court ordered expense, but recently purchased an international franchise and has about a hundred contract employees. I also learned he purchased a home, luxury cars and is named as the manager of his family’s living trust. How can I collect these judgments and court ordered expenses, as well as possibly outside Contempt and/or Perjury?

Your question is rather complex, and you have several options that you could explore. If your ex-husband is refusing to pay court-ordered expenses, then you may have a case against him in contempt, pursuant to C.R.C.P. 107. Additionally, you could attempt to serve your ex with interrogatories pursuant to C.R.C.P. 69 to learn more about his financial situation. The processes involved in either of the above-mentioned options are nuanced and require a greater level of explanation and detail than I can provide here. You should make an appointment with an experienced attorney to discuss your options regarding enforcing your order and collecting the money that is owed to you.
