Los Angeles Divorce Lawyer

Enforcement of a Current Order

Now that your divorce is finalized, orders have been issued by the courts on matters such as child support, child custody and spousal support. If these orders are not followed, in can put you and your child in jeopardy. At the Mansouri Law Offices, we fight aggressively to see that your rights in family law matters are protected and that the orders issued by the court are strictly adhered to.

At times, all it takes is a letter from a Los Angeles divorce attorney from our firm to get proper payments being made. There are situations, however, where tougher measures need to be undertaken in order to fully resolve the situation. Throughout all of our actions, foremost is the purpose to ensure that you and your family are properly supported.

Protecting Your Rights

In the case of spousal support, the court can issue an order to your ex-spouse to provide security for payment of the spousal support order. They may also have your local child support agency take over the enforcement of a current order. Failure to pay can also be enforced through contempt proceedings against the offender which can result in fines and/or time in jail. A person who owes child or spousal support can have a portion of their income applied directly to making the back payments. In some cases, a wage assignment can cause both current and back payments to be deducted from an ex-spouse's paycheck. This action is done directly by the employer and sent to the person who should be receiving the support.

No matter the action that needs to be taken, we want you to trust in our years of successful experience in getting court orders enforced. As a boutique law firm, we are able to give you the personalized service and attention to detail that you deserve, while offering fees that are affordable. We look forward to protecting your rights when court issued orders are not being complied with.
