Legal Help With Post-Divorce
Enforcement in St. Louis, Missouri
Unfortunately, once parties divorce and have a Judgment and Decree of Dissolution, you may still find yourself arguing with your former spouse about the content of your divorce decree. Perhaps the court ordered division of property, including pension plans, but your former spouse refuses to complete the paperwork necessary for the transfer. Perhaps the court entered a Parenting Plan that your former spouse refuses to follow. When conflicts like these arise, the law provides a remedy to enforce your divorce decree, a process known as a contempt proceeding.
Contempt proceedings can be quite frustrating, given that emotions can run hot when it feels like re-opening an old wound, one you reasonably thought had been healed with the entry of your divorce decree. While frustrating, contempt proceedings will allow you to assure compliance with the terms of the divorce decree, and also to make the non-complying spouse responsible for costs, including attorney fees, in enforcing compliance.
