How Can I Enforce My Divorce Decree?

After all the work that went into successfully finalizing your divorce, your former spouse’s noncompliance with the terms can make you feel frustrated and hopeless. However, you can take legal action to enforce it and our attorney will guide you through it.

If your ex-spouse fails to comply with the terms of your divorce decree, you can file a motion for contempt of court, a copy of which must be served to your former spouse. Within the motion, you must specify which areas of your divorce decree your ex-spouse is not in compliance with. You will have the burden of proof, however, so you must collect as much evidence as possible.

Below are some of the most commonly violated divorce terms:

If you can successfully prove that your former spouse violated one or more of these items ordered in your divorce decree, a judge can potentially order jail time for as long as the contempt endures. In most cases, however, a judge will usually give the non-compliant party a chance to rectify the violation.

Depending on why your former spouse failed to comply with the divorce decree, he or she may not be subject to jail time. For example, if your ex involuntarily became unemployed or developed a disability, it is unlikely a judge will order jail time.
