Enforcement of Judgments
|
You may think that when a divorce has finally happened, and all is said and done, that things start to calm down, and both former spouses get on with their lives. Often times, this isn't the case at all. There are actually many disagreements that can arise after the divorce decree has already been entered. These disagreements include things like child support, maintenance, and other such concerns. When one of the parties feels as though the other was not acting in accordance with the divorce decree, their divorce attorney will draft a pleading order to accomplish the client's goals. The lawyer will ask the judge to enter an order that that party appear in court to show why exactly they disobeyed the court order or judgment. |
Sometimes there is no settlement once the other party arrives in court, in which case, the judge will hold a hearing to decide whether the rule should be entered, and if so, how the other party may purge himself or herself of the contempt of court. If the other party willfully fails to abide by previous court orders, the judge may enter a body attachment which is similar to a civil arrest warrant. The party is then subject to arrest and punishment under Illinois statute. If you feel as though you need enforcement of divorce judgements for your divorce, don't hesitate to contact Chicago divorce lawyer Arkady Reifman. |
