Court Cracks Down on Husband for Not Paying Ordered Alimony and Not Making Financial Disclosure

By Janet Langjahr

Husband and Wife are going through nasty divorce.

And Husband is being prosecuted for numerous white collar crimes.

Husband owes Wife $10,000 in alimony.

And financial disclosure in their divorce.

Minnesota trial court holds Husband in contempt of court … and orders Husband to jail.
