Support Enforcement Petition

A Support Enforcement Petition is a legal document filed by a party in a spousal support case, requesting the court to enforce an existing support order against the other party who has failed to make required payments. The petition typically includes information about the amount of support owed and the efforts made to collect the support, and may request the court to hold the delinquent party in contempt or to impose other penalties or remedies. The purpose of the petition is to compel compliance with the support order and to ensure that the recipient spouse receives the financial support to which they are entitled.
