How Does Post-Divorce Property Enforcement Work?

There are several reasons you may wish to enforce a post-divorce property division or payment decree. If your ex-spouse refuses to hand over property that was awarded to you during the divorce or won't pay for property post-divorce, you should work with an experienced family law firm to ameliorate the situation.

Post-divorce property enforcement can result in the following actions taken against the spouse who is withholding property division or payments:

• They may be held in Contempt of Court and criminally charged. Consequences for Contempt of Court charges vary by state.
• They may be forced to sell assets equivalent in value to the property in question to compensate you.
• A judge may file an Entry of Judgement, further reinforcing the post-divorce property decree.
• A judge may force your ex-spouse to transfer property titles to you.
• The property in question might be foreclosed upon.
• A judge can garnish your ex-spouse's wages until they either comply with the post-divorce property decree or compensate you adequately for the property in question.

Navigating post-divorce property division and payment can be a stressful and complicated process. Post-divorce property enforcement can help you receive the property you deserve from an acrimonious or uncooperative ex-spouse.
