Enforcement of Court Orders #2
It is often necessary to enforce court orders after the initial judgment or order has been made. From the time that a court issues an order in your case, the law expects that the conditions of the order will be followed. You have the right to be confident that you will receive the benefits contained in all court orders.

If your ex-spouse is not complying with the conditions of your divorce, child-custody, or child-support order, including visitation orders, and you are not receiving the benefits that you have been awarded, you are entitled to obtain those benefits. You have the right to enforcement of the judgment or order. This process often involves an Order to Show Cause being issued against the non-compliant party to have them held in contempt of court, and possibly sanctioned as necessary to bring them into compliance with court orders.
