Wife Unable To Make Alimony Payments



I need help!! My ex is taking me back to court for contempt. I have not been paying alimony since my severance package ran out. I then filed for unemployment because my Mom got sick and I was taking her to all her doctors' appointments since she was not allowed to drive.

My unemployment ran out in April and I have been borrowing against my credit card. I have started looking for a job, but so far I haven't been able to find one in the area.

My ex is now asking me to bring in all my information about my retirement fund. I worked for the corporation for 28 years and was only married 8.

I have been paying alimony since 1995 which is supposed to be permanent since he is a quad. (even though I married him after his accident) He lives in the house that we (I) renovated and has his brother and now my ex's girlfriend also lives there.

Now his attorney is telling me to bring to court all my pension plan papers. Is anyone familiar with Qualified Domestic Relations Order?
