Enforcement of Alimony Order
Enforcement of Alimony Order
An Enforcement of Alimony Order is filed by a party seeking to enforce the terms of an existing alimony order when the other party fails to make the required payments. The party seeking enforcement must provide evidence of the non-payment, such as bank statements or payment records, and demonstrate that they have made efforts to collect the unpaid alimony. The court may impose sanctions or penalties for non-payment, such as wage garnishment, seizure of assets, or contempt of court. In some cases, the court may also order the delinquent party to pay the other party’s attorney fees and costs associated with the enforcement action. The goal of an enforcement action is to compel compliance with the alimony order and ensure that the recipient spouse receives the financial support to which they are entitled.
