Enforcement Order

An Enforcement Order is a legal document issued by a court to compel a party to comply with a previously issued court order. Enforcement orders are typically used when one party has failed to follow the terms of an order, such as failing to pay child support, violating a restraining order, or refusing to comply with a custody arrangement. To obtain an enforcement order, the party seeking enforcement must file a petition with the court, along with evidence of the violation. The court will then hold a hearing to determine whether an enforcement order is appropriate, and if so, what penalties or sanctions should be imposed on the violating party. Enforcement orders can include a range of remedies, such as wage garnishment, property seizure, or even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the violation and the specific circumstances of the case.
