Q: My father agreed to pay 75% of my outstanding student loans from college and he has not paid. The agreement stated that I remain in college as a full time student and graduate within four years. all of which I did. He agreed to this in his divorce against my mother back in 2007. How do I sue him for the money he owes as he is stating that his circumstances were different back then. Is he not responsible for the 75%?
A: David's Answer: If he never moved to modify the agreement, and assuming it was incorporated into a judgment of divorce, then he most likely won't be able to "get out of it" now. That said, your mother would be the proper party to bring the enforcement action.
