Enforcement

The details of your last order or final decree are legally binding and may require enforcement if your ex-spouse is not complying with some or all of them.

Common violations of the final decree include:

  • Child support nonpayment
  • Parenting time lost or refused
  • Unpaid medical expenses not covered by insurance
  • Nonpayment of spousal support

The first step to address a violation is to file a contempt of court motion. Evidence is required to support a claim of violation, so it is important to gather all relevant documentation before going to court. The end goal of these proceedings is to bring your ex-spouse into compliance with your decree. We can help you achieve enforcement by handling the necessary steps to prove your case and filing the appropriate paperwork.
