Enforcement

Your case is over, the dust has settled, you’re easing into a new routine, starting to enjoy a new life and . . . bam, the other side decides not to follow the Order or your Agreement.

You’re stuck.

What happens next?

You need an Enforcer. One with a particular set of skills acquired over long years of . . . well, you get the point: call your attorney. Now.

You have options.

Depending on the type of document that resolved your case, you may need to request that the Court hold the other side in contempt to either punish them or to compel them to follow the Order.
Or, you may need to ask the Court for damages under your Agreement (AKA breach of contract).

Or, you may ask that the Court order that the other side perform a specific duty required by your Agreement (AKA specific performance).

What does all this mean in plain English? Simple, you have remedies. One thing about Courts throughout the land – they do not like having their orders ignored or flouted or both.

You need a team who understands and can explain your options to you. That is what we do.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I want a divorce?

If you’re ever considering getting a divorce, you should speak to somebody about it. Reach out to your biggest supporters and keep them close. When you’re ready, get in touch with one of our experienced divorce attorneys to discuss all of the SMART strategies available to you.

My spouse filed for divorce — what should I do?

We understand this can be a pretty stressful situation. In North Carolina, spouses are required to live in separate homes for at least a year before becoming eligible for divorce. The time apart allows couples time to work on things and better scope out a future without their partner. You can take this process slow and make sure that you both make the best decisions for the family. Regardless of what stage of divorce you find yourself in, you should reach out to a divorce attorney who can give you sound advice (with your best interests in mind.)
