Attorney Fees

Hi, my name is Jeremiah Velez and I really need some help. I was recently medically retired from the Army after 21 years of service. I don't know where to begin to ask for help. My Ex-wife has taken everything from me. I have given her everything I could to include, my entire GI bill; that paid for her Masters degree, a master barber certification, and a number of other exploratory expenses. I paid for her home, which she sold and earned 200K from the sale. We have no children together, but I am paying her more alimony than a parent would receive for child support. I only tell you this, because, since I retired money has been tight. I got remarried to a wonderful woman and we have a three month old son. I love my new life, but my Ex shouldn't be taking from us. I just got out of a hearing and was told that I am in contempt of court because of three payments I missed after retiring and adjusting to my new income. I did everything I could to reach her and prevent us from having to go into court. I called, emailed, reached out to her family, even hired a private investigator to find her. She was unreachable until, she filed for a contempt of court against me. Now, I have to pay her within 15 days, or a warrant will be sent for my arrest. I can't believe this is happening to me and my family! The system is broken, and I don't know where else to turn. I have been looking for work but I am not competitive without an education. Please help....... I dont know what else to do.
