Court Order Enforcement in Grand Rapids

Call (616) 202-3988 for Dedicated Legal Support

Divorce and legal separation settlements are legally binding, which means that if your ex-spouse in any way violates the written agreement, they can be held responsible. At Brookhills Legal Services, our top priority is to protect our clients' rights and provide you with the highest quality legal service possible.

Types of Enforcement Methods for Family Law Cases

After a divorce or family law case goes through litigation, both parties are expected to closely follow the written decree. Depending on the type of case, this may include anything from child support and spousal support payments to visitation rights.

While it would be wonderful if every person complied with the court order they were given, this is often not the case. From late payments or complete lack of payments to breaking child custody laws, you have the right to enforce your ex-spouse to follow the court order with the help of a Grand Rapids family law attorney.

There are a number of different enforcement methods which we may be able to use, such as:

  • Taking funds from their tax refund
  • Wage garnishment
  • Deducting from lottery or gambling winnings
  • Deducting from unemployment benefits
  • Placing a lien
  • Taking funds from their bank account
  • Federal prosecution
  • Suspending professional licenses
  • Suspending driver's license
  • Holding them in contempt of court

    "My Lawyer is Sharper than Yours!"
    I am thrilled to be able to leave a rave review of my attorney Lee Coppage. Not only was he sharply dressed and his appearance spoke business but his expertise and manner in which he takes over a courtroom was amazing. I was always satisfied to know that he would definitely get my point across and my voice would be heard through him (loud and clear) every single court appearance. He helped guide me through the worse time of my adult life. I was emotionally flustered and extremely concerned about my children and their wellbeing. Lee was supportive, knowledgeable and extremely patient with me. Several times I had emotional breakdowns and the staff in Mr. Crowe's office was very respectful and tolerated everything. It was a long year for me but I am proud to say that I made the best decision by hiring the office of Wayne Crowe Jr and blessed by having Lee represent me in court during this custody battle. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided to me.
