An Example of Breach That May Require Enforcement
If your ex-spouse fails to pay spousal support, he or she may be punished by contempt. To ensure you receive the spousal support you need, your former spouse’s wages may be garnished. If your former spouse owes a substantial amount of support, he or she may even be charged interest, and the court may also charge your ex with any legal fees you incurred to enforce the order.
During this time, make sure you make a record of your former spouse’s breaches of the order and of all correspondence, including texts and emails. If communications fail to resolve the matter, these records will be crucial in your motion to enforce the order. Depending on the provisions you are seeking to enforce, the court will take the appropriate legal action to ensure they are obeyed. We can review the circumstances of your post-divorce dispute to determine whether a breach warrants legal enforcement.
What Should You Do Before Going To Court
Before you take the matter to court, consider checking in with your former spouse to ensure he or she fully comprehends the terms of your divorce. In some cases, individuals lack understanding regarding their legal obligations. If the matter involves your children, it is especially beneficial to open up the lines of communication before jumping to conclusions.
