Please ! I need advise about taking my ex to court

I live in oregon and am taking my ex to court on contempt for refusal to pay his spousal support, and transfer half his stock ect as ordered in the divorce 7 months ago. I am attending a vocational school  because my health is poor and I cannot work in retail any longer so I have very little income. I have mostly been living off credit cards and transfering balances to make monthly payments. Its crazy I know!  I hate this! I filed the paper work myself and dont have the money for an attorney.  I read that its the petitioners responsibility to show 4 mandatory burdens of proof.  Is that true? What is that. ? Can anyone help? Please

don't do anything until you check on it because he is the one that will come out on top.Besides he is one that hasn't payed his child support so if you can't depend on him to care for his children why would you think that he would give you money that you put into that house.Please check it out

I think you may have read something wrong - are you sure the four (4) wasn't a "bullet point" (like a, b, c, or 1, 2, 3, 4 or I, II, III, IV)

 

burden of proof is just that - you need to bring with you your evidence backing up your claim - you can't just walk in there and state he is behind, or state he didn't transfer his shares - you have to bring proof of it...

 

I don't see how they would require "four" unless for some wierd reason the court you have your case heard in doesn't allow contempt to be filed unless there are at least four acts of contempt...but that makes no sense...

so just bring evidence to court...you will be fine.
