Judgments

I have filed and won a lawsuit against a company in Colorado. The company is filing an appeal and I have asked my lawyer to file a cross appeal to add in cost of attorneys fees. I am told this can not be done because it was not stipulated in the contract the company violated or is against Colorado law. Any advice?

What would qualify a person as judgment proof?

In Vermont when you lose a case and the plantiff is awarded damages when can they legally start charging you interest? Can they start charging interest on the date that the case was filed?

I live in Ohio. Pennsylvania paid me unemployment compensation (although I never worked in Pennsylvania a company I worked for was located there), now they want some of it back claiming overpayment because I made a little money in Real Estate. I skipped a week per their instructions when I came into the money. But they claim I ran a business. Can I just ignore Pennsylvania or do they have enforcement powers from another state? I have appealed the decision so far.

Please answer this question relative to New York State Divorce Laws: I am presently unemployed, out on disability, my monthly medical bills, child support and personal expenses exceed my disability income by approx. $ 2,127.11/mo. I have been advised to file for Ch 7 bankruptcy by 2 independent financial planner/adviser agencies. Furthermore, my wife filed a Motion - Order To Show Cause, to find me in Contempt of Court, for not meeting all of my financial obligations/payments to her, for certain child arrears, her attorney fees, and college tuition for our youngest child. Meanwhile, the Judge in our case, has found that I am not in Contempt of Court as I am not willfully withholding payments to my ex-wife. Furthermore, he ruled, wrote, signed and send me a Court Order indicating that I still owe her said monies; that the Clerk, of the County Of Suffolk, is directed to enter and docket a money judgment in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant, in the sum of $3,000.00, representing the defendant's child support arrears pursuant to said Judgment. And similar language was used regards my monies owed for the plaintiff's attorney fees and tuition for our youngest child. Meanwhile, the Judge did not specify that these monies, totaling, $6,479.25, need to be paid in a lump sum, nor did he specify a due date for these payments. Given this, what is my obligation to get payments to my ex-wife? i.e., can I do a payment plan or is it all due in a lump sum? And is there an unwritten understanding that the entire amount must be paid within 30, or 60 or other number of days after the Order is signed and issued?
