FORT LAUDERDALE ENFORCEMENT ATTORNEY
Have you been denied visitation rights by your ex-spouse? Has your child's other parent stopped making support payments? Perhaps your ex just has a terrible habit of always showing up late and leaving early when it is your scheduled visitation time with your child. Or, maybe you have been receiving alimony checks that are just a little bit less than what the court said they should be. Whatever the reason, if you need to enforce a court's divorce judgment, your Fort Lauderdale enforcement attorney is here to help.
Some people like to think divorce agreements are merely a suggestion and can be followed or broken at will. This is incorrect and illegal. When a court has made a legal decision, it becomes law -even if it comes down to something minor like a few minutes of missed visitation here and there. If you are getting cheated on your divorce settlement, a Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyer can help you get these decisions enforced.
We will help you investigate the situation and find evidence to bring to court to prove your ex has not been holding up his or her part of the divorce agreement. Your Fort Lauderdale enforcement attorney can help file the paperwork necessary to start a motion for enforcement or contempt. When your ex is held to be non-compliant with the divorce order, he or she may face a number of consequences, including:
- Fines
- Holds placed on bank accounts
- Jail time
- Reporting of past due support payments on his or her credit report
- Seizure of tax refunds
- Suspension of drivers licenses
- Seizure of lottery winnings
- Wage garnishments
- And more...
Whether your ex has fallen behind on support payments or has interfered with your custody rights, you can take action. Speak with your Fort Lauderdale divorce attorney today to discuss your options. At The Stella Law Firm, we pride ourselves on being a top family law firm in Florida. See the Stella difference yourself; you won't be disappointed.
