Full Conversation

what are rules of unconscionability?
Unconscionability in contract law refers to terms that are excessively unfair or oppressive. In Colorado:
- A contract is unconscionable if it is so one-sided that it shocks the conscience.
- Courts consider both procedural (impropriety during the negotiation) and substantive (unfair terms) unconscionability.
- The presence of both types strengthens the case for unconscionability.

If the husband has been found guilty of perjury because of lying about the income, how do you get the court to hold him accountable. Also based on the fraudulent slander suit and the slander of wife credit, can this be called obstruction of justice when the husband just refuses to comply with court orders and continues to lie about the income?
Case Rating: *
To hold your ex-husband accountable for perjury and non-compliance with court orders:
- File a motion for contempt of court outlining his perjury and continuous non-compliance.
- Provide evidence of his actions and any financial impact on you.
- Request specific enforcement actions, such as fines or jail time.
Obstruction of justice typically involves interfering with legal proceedings, but it might not apply directly to your situation. However, his actions could strengthen your contempt motion.
