How do I claim money from my ex-partner when selling my home?

Questioner

I bought a house with my ex. Before we moved in we separated. The notary agreed that he would pay me 3000 euros per year over a period of 5 years. After that he told me verbally that he would pay 250 euros per month. Now he paid the first 3 years and now he pays nothing. The date that we signed at the notary is the end of July/beginning of August. I think that if I don't take steps I can kiss the last 6000 euros goodbye. Last week I sent a registered letter, but because it was not picked up within 24 hours it was returned, these are the words of Post.nl. What is the best way to approach this? Hire a bailiff? Or start legal proceedings right away?

Lawyer

You could hire a bailiff who can write to your ex. However, he will not be able to seize his salary or bank account, for example, if your ex does not pay voluntarily after hiring a bailiff, without a court ruling as a basis. If you want to obtain a ruling, you will have to hire a lawyer. If you wish, you can contact us.
