If none of this is in the decree is she squeezed out of the process? You can't tell me that she has no recourse about getting paid does she? That seems so unfair. The ex-spouse in a very nasty divorce will not offer to pay her if he can get away with it. I am glad you told me this because it appears my sister will be screwed becuase her former spouse will not offer to pay. It was a bitter nasty divorce.
