Court Order Enforcement in Grand Rapids
Call (616) 202-3988 for Dedicated Legal Support
Divorce and
legal separation settlements are legally binding, which means that if your ex-spouse in
any way violates the written agreement, they can be held responsible.
At The Wealthy Street Law Firm, our top priority is to protect
our clients' rights and provide you with the highest quality legal
service possible.
Types of Enforcement Methods for Family Law Cases
After a divorce or
family law case goes through litigation, both parties are expected to closely follow
the written decree. Depending on the type of case, this may include anything from
child support and
spousal support payments to visitation rights.
While it would be wonderful if every person complied with the court order
they were given, this is often not the case. From late payments or complete
lack of payments to breaking child custody laws, you have the right to
enforce your ex-spouse to follow the court order with the help of a Grand
Rapids family law attorney.
There are a number of different enforcement methods which we may be able
to use, such as:
- Taking funds from their tax refund
- Wage garnishment
- Deducting from lottery or gambling winnings
- Deducting from unemployment benefits
- Placing a lien
- Taking funds from their bank account
- Federal prosecution
- Suspending professional licenses
- Suspending driver's license
- Holding them in contempt of court
