A friend of mine (who lives in Canada) is in a weird situation after a pretty bad divorce. I wonder if someone on this board may have some ideas.
The court's decision was that her spouse owes her some sum of money. She can't get it however, because the guy simply does not pay and claims he does not have any (in reality he has them hidden somewhere). When she goes to the sheriff, sheriff says she must not only show the court's papers (which she has), but also tell him where the money is, which she does not know. Apparently, they cannot withhold it from his wages either (only child support). So, the court's decision is pointless then... ?
I don't know how this works in Canada or in US, but would guess there are similarities, so either way, your thoughts might inspire something...
Thanks!
