What Happens When You Fail to Comply With a Court Order?
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.
Non-Compliance and Child Support
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.
How Can I Get My Ex-Spouse to Comply 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
