Litigant's Rights Enforcement Attorney Northern, NJ
In the event one party to a divorce is not complying with court orders the court may be petitioned to compel compliance. At the Law Offices of Heather J. Darling, Esq., LLC, we can help you ensure you are getting what has been ordered for you. We are aware that it cost you a substantial amount of money to obtain the order being violated so we always try to have the legal fees paid by the other party when you are forced to seek their compliance.
Enforcement Proceedings
Enforcement is sought by Motion, whether before or after a final Judgment of Divorce has been granted. Enforcement actions may be brought to enforce a Pendente Lite Order, a Child Support Order or the terms of the Final Judgment of Divorce. In this manner, enforcement motions are similar to the pre-trial motions sought by parties to a divorce.
If you have been awarded certain relief by court order as part of a matrimonial action and the other party to the matrimonial action is not complying with the order to your detriment, you can seek relief by having the court order compliance by way of monetary sanctions, loss of driving privileges and even incarceration in the more egregious cases of non-compliance.
Defending Against a Motion to Enforce Litigant's Rights
If a motion to enforce litigant's rights has been filed against you and you truly just cannot make the court ordered payments, if there are adequate grounds supporting a true change of circumstances we can help you have your obligations modified to a manageable level. We will guide you through the process of having your obligations modified to an amount you can afford based upon the change in circumstances in your or your children's lives. In family law matters, it is rare for a one-time legal action to settle everything forever. As families' needs and circumstances change, their abilities to meet previously established obligations change as well - especially when there are children and finances involved.
Motion Hearings
Often there is little room for negotiation when enforcement motions are required therefore they most often end up being decided by the Judge who is now handling or did handle your divorce. We work with our clients to ensure that motions are well prepared and all available and pertinent proofs are included. We guide you through the process and explain exactly what you will need to present to the Judge in order to receive the relief you seek.
