Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP provides over 57 Years of Combined Family Law Counsel Experience dedicated to Your Family’s Legal Concerns throughout the Legal Process.

When you have already had to endure the difficult process of reaching alimony agreements, child support arrangements, and other important legal decisions, enforcing these agreements on your own can be frustrating.

If another party fails to uphold their part of a legal agreement or accuses you of not fulfilling your duties, it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can fully protect your rights and interests.

Enforcement Actions Lawyers

After your divorce is complete, you may still have to deal with frustrating problems such as your ex-spouse’s failure to comply with your divorce agreement.

Even with a fair and reasonable settlement, disputes may arise when one party fails to adhere to the terms of the divorce agreement, putting the other individual in the unfortunate situation of requiring further legal action in order to obtain benefits or privileges already granted to him or her by the court.

At Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, our legal team is committed to helping you enforce the terms of your divorce settlement through whatever legal means necessary, and we will work diligently to make sure that you are receiving the benefits and privileges to which you are entitled.

Common Types of Enforcement Actions

For many family legal issues, specialized contracts are drawn up to protect all parties and make sure that everyone involved knows their responsibilities. However, not all parties fulfill their duties when it comes to these matters.

When this happens, you need to reach a resolution as soon as possible, potentially by seeking legal enforcement of these contracts. We can help with enforcement actions regarding family matters including:

Simply having a divorce settlement is not always sufficient to safeguard your access to your children and secure any payments that may be owed to you.

If your rights have been violated in this regard, you may require additional legal action in order to enforce the terms of your agreement.

Our attorneys have extensive experience resolving disputes in all of the following areas:

• Adoption
• Alimony
• Child Support
• Child Visitation
• Property Division
• Prenuptial Agreements

It is imperative to make sure that agreements regarding these and other family law issues are upheld according to the terms of their legally-binding contracts.

If another party is not responsibly upholding their part of the agreement, you may need to take legal action to enforce these decisions.

In order to seek court action for enforcement of these agreements, you may require skilled legal representation who can aggressively manage your case.

Fortunately, our attorneys have the resources and the experience necessary to help you protect your rights and interests.

Restraining Orders

Every year, millions of Americans are affected by domestic abuse. Fortunately, there are laws in place that can help victims avoid further domestic abuse.

One of the most common ways the court can aid victims of domestic abuse is by ordering a restraining order against the abuser.

Restraining orders-also known as orders of protection, among other names-make it illegal for an abuser to continue contact with the abused.

This includes physical contact with the abused, but can also extend to communications like phone calls and emails.

Often these orders also prohibit contact with the victim’s children and even the children’s schools and doctors.

Other Ramifications of a Restraining Order

In some jurisdictions, people under a restraining order can be ordered to hand over any firearms and ammunition they might have.

Restraining orders in some place can make abusers subject to regular drug tests. They might also be required to undergo drug and/or alcohol counseling.

Domestic abusers might also be forced to undergo counseling for their behavior.

Sometimes abusers are also required to pay towards medical bills, property damage, or ongoing shared debts like mortgage payments. Sometimes the victim can be awarded sole control of shared property like houses and vehicles.

The penalties for violating a restraining order can be severe. In cases where the order prohibits the abuser from going within a specified distance of the victim, for example, the victim can take legal action against the abuser for getting too near.

If the abuser assaults the victim, of course, the restraining order only compounds the offense.

Enforcement Action Practice Areas

Legally binding agreements help to define the terms of a divorce for both parties, deciding on a wide range of issues that can greatly affect your life following divorce.

In a divorce proceeding, a settlement or judgment often leads to several legally binding enforcement actions that dictate the terms of the divorce.

When a couple finalizes their divorce or separation, they are obligated to comply with these enforcement actions.

Unfortunately, sometimes ex-spouses fail to honor these actions, or a judgment needs to be modified to better suit your current situation.

If you are seeking to uphold, modify, or contest an enforcement action following your divorce or separation, contact the Carlsbad enforcement action lawyers of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, today at (760) 722-7669 for a free consultation.
