Consequences of Failing to Comply With Court Orders
When an ex-spouse fails to obey the terms of a decree such as property division or spousal support, the wronged spouse must act on their own to enforce the order. Upon the judge’s approval, this commands the non-compliant spouse to appear before the judge. Unless the non-compliant party can develop a proper defense and provide the judge with a viable reason why he or she disobeyed the decree, the court can find him or her in contempt. The judge must find that the non-compliant parent willfully and intentionally disobeyed or ignored the court orders.
Understanding Non-Compliance and Child Support in New York
In regards to child support, New York’s Support Collection Unit (SCU) doesn’t need court approval to take enforcement measures against non-compliant parents.
Steps to Ensure Your Ex-Spouse Complies with Court Orders
The courts in NY have many ways of enforcing orders. Depending on how far behind the offending parent or ex-spouse is, a judge may order one or a variety of the actions below:
- Wage/income garnishment
- Interception of tax refunds
- Freeze bank accounts
- Report non-paying parent to credit bureaus
- Lien on business or home
- Loss of driver’s license and passport
- Loss of occupational or professional license
- Jail
- Fines

"The law firm of Wayne F. Crowe provided me with the legal support and strength I needed during my divorce."My divorce was smooth and I am extremely happy with the settlement. After the divorce Wayne and his team also provided me with the legal support I needed to terminate my child support obligations and gain sole custody of my children. I am very pleased with the services provided and the outcome could not have been any better.- Ranjee R.

"I would recommend this law firm to anyone. They are AWESOME."Wayne and his team are absolutely the best!!! I can't rave enough about this law firm. When I first met Wayne he listen to my concerns and put my worries at rest. Initially I needed help with what I thought would be a simply child support case. Two years later I'm still going back and forth with this issue. My child's father is a real creep and tried his very best to hide his income. Geoffrey Greenless was able to see through deceit. Jeff (for short) ordered my copies of his bank accounts and went through each transaction with a fine toothed comb. Jeff presented the evidence in such a way the judge had no choice but to dismiss the fraudulent motion. Wayne and Jeff have always been honest and upfront. They've always made me feel like I was on the winning team. I’m able to reach Jeff or Wayne via email, phone or text message. Jeff has never been absent or late to any of my scheduled court dates. I would recommend this law firm to anyone. They are AWESOME.- Crystal M.
