Post Judgment Enforcement and Modification
Sometimes, divorce actions do not stop once the final decree is entered. Post judgment enforcements & modifications are actions that take place after the divorce has occurred. Enforcement usually involves one party violating a prior court order with regard to child support, child custody, or visitation. The attorneys at EXTRAORDINARYLAW.COM handle all post judgment enforcement & modification issues, whether we handled your original divorce or not. We represent men and women throughout Michigan, with a focus on helping people in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne counties and the surrounding areas.
Enforcement
If either party violates a court order in a divorce case, the other party may compel the violating party to appear and answer to the court concerning violation of the order. The court gives the violating party the opportunity to show why he or she should not be held in contempt. If the court finds the violating party in contempt, the court can order that the violator correct the violation, be incarcerated, or pay legal fees and other costs for the contempt proceeding. The case in which an enforcement action is seen most frequently is in child support enforcement actions.
Child support enforcement is one or the greatest sources of conflict between divorced parents. Disputes over child support payments are most often a source of financial stress for at least one of the parents, and quite often can have a negative impact upon the child. In many cases, payment of child support in a timely fashion becomes a frustrating situation and parents must turn elsewhere. By consulting the child support enforcement attorneys at EXTRAORDINARYLAW.COM, you can gather the appropriate information needed to win your case and collect back child support that is owed to you and your family.
Modification
Michigan courts have the power to modify prior decrees concerning such matters as alimony or maintenance, child custody, child visitation, and child support. The most commonly litigated issues for a modification suit are modification of custody arrangements, modification of child support, and increasing or decreasing visitation. Most custodial and financial issues are subject to modification.
