Enforcing Court Orders in Manhattan Divorce

Violation of Court Orders Following Divorce

Ideally, once a court has issued your divorce decree or finalized your legal separation, the terms ordered along with that process are followed by both parties.  Unfortunately, it can happen that your ex-spouse does not comply with these orders, causing problems for you which deserve to be remedied.  In such cases, legal recourse is available and a Manhattan divorce lawyer can help to explain your legal rights and options.

It may be that your ex-spouse is failing to pay child support or spousal support in the full amount directed, or at all.  The transfer of titles or the liquidation of property needed to satisfy the requirements of the court order may be being delayed or thwarted by the actions of your ex.  If you hold joint custody, the other party may not be abiding by the specifics of how parenting responsibilities and time with your children are to be shared.  In cases of joint custody, if your ex-spouse is interfering with and inhibiting your visitation rights, this is also a violation of court orders.  The law provides specific processes in order to address these situations.
