Enforcements FAQs
Failing to make court-ordered payments typically results in fines and possible jail time. Additionally, consequences can include license suspension, property seizure, or wage garnishment.
A party is most often found in contempt of court due to stopping spousal support payments or refusing to follow the terms of child custody and child support. Other circumstances, such as selling community property or refusing to contribute to a child’s medical expenses, can also arise after a divorce. These unique situations need to be brought to the court’s attention.
Most commonly, court orders are enforced for child support, child custody, spousal maintenance, restraining orders, or property division. However, when one party does not comply with any court order, an enforcement attorney can help settle the case.
