year every December for 10 years total 65000
for my percentage of the business. plus interest
of 3.25. He has never paid it. Missing 2
payments now. I filed a motion to get the court
to make him pay me what I am owed, 2 years
plus interest dated back to settelment date. I
caculated interest incorrectly in his favor in
motion. How can I fix? Do I file an addendum?
Can I call the clerk? Thanks

To correct the error, file an amended motion which states, The motion to require payments (exact title of motion) by ______ (name of ex)) filed on ______ (date) is amended as follows: The amount of interest is___________ instead of _______.
File the amended motion with a proof of service and mail a conformed (court-stamped) copy to the attorney for your ex or if no attorney, to your ex.
The court should enforce the order pursuant to the amended motion.
