FAQs What happens when my spouse fails to comply with a court order?

What happens when my spouse fails to comply with a court order?

December 31, 2019 //  by Maura//  Leave a Comment

You can always ask the court to enforce the order by filing a complaint for contempt. The court can find that your spouse has failed to comply with the terms of the order and is in contempt of court upon hearing the facts. The terms of the order will determine if that spouse should be fined or imprisoned. Other punishments include the seizure of assets such as tax refunds, bank funds, and lottery winnings and wage garnishment. In the past, we have been successful in ensuring that spouses who fail to comply with courts order are ordered to pay up or face jail time.
