Divorce Compliance Issues

Counsel from a Dedicated Syracuse Divorce Lawyer

The relief that comes with finally completing a divorce procedure can sometimes be followed by another complication: non-compliance by your ex-spouse with the divorce court orders. This non-compliance can happen any number of ways and forces the complying spouse to again take legal action. In many cases, once the court is aware of the non-compliance, it can take action to enforce those orders and rectify the situation.

At Haddad Law Office, P.C., I have been helping clients and families resolve their post-divorce legal issues for more than 15 years. I am ready to help assess your circumstances, face your divorce compliance issue head on, and swiftly secure the most amicable solution possible.

Enforcing Your Divorce Orders

Unfortunately, it is not unheard of for ex-spouses to express their dissatisfaction with the court's divorce rulings by rebelling against their legal responsibilities. When this happens, the other spouse—and sometimes even children—are put at a significant disadvantage.

Common instances of non-compliance with divorce orders include:

Ex-spouses can also provide a lot of excuses to delay certain actions or payments. These can often quickly compound and result in non-compliance. Different actions can be taken depending on the specific compliance issue, but no matter what the circumstances, I can help you file the correct court order and ensure that a judge becomes aware of your ex-spouse’s failure to meet their post-divorce responsibilities.

Facing Allegations of Non-Compliance? 

In some cases, non-compliance happens for a legitimate reason. You may be served a court order to appear before a judge for a non-compliance issue because you have been unsure on how alert your ex-spouse and the judge to a dramatic change in your circumstances. When this happens, it is recommended that you have legal representation by your side. I can help you navigate this process, make your circumstances apparent to the judge, and even help pursue a modification that establishes new divorce terms suitable to everyone's needs.
