Question: Feb. 14,2014 Husband and I had a resolution meeting where he was suppose to rollover the per deim of his 401k plus 6k. it is on the paperwork to do so. It is now almost a year over and no surprise, he hasn't done a damn thing or how do I get him to or even know it is the correct amount? what if he has taken it all out by now? please help. I didn't say anything for I hoped he had done it and I just never got the paperwork, but I am pretty sure he didn't even attempt to. what can I do? sue him? hire my lawyer again? can I make him pay for my lawyer if I do have to get her involved again?

Answer: For legal advice on your specific situation consult a lawyer. Generally, a court order to do so in a settlement agreement would lead to a violation of a court order. Violations of court orders are enforceable by petitioning the court to enforce the order. Ordered mediation to settle a matter leads the court to enter the matter as settled by mediation and is enforceable by petitioning the court as well. I am not clear as to whether this agreement was verbal or written and if you are still married or this is the result of a divorce settlement.
