When a couple gets divorced, they end their proceedings with a settlement that details exactly what is expected of each spouse. It outlines their parenting plan, spousal maintenance payments, division of property, and every other aspect of how their lives will proceed once the marriage is over. When one ex stops holding up their end of the deal, it can be extremely distressing for the other.
A recent case of a local man being held in contempt and jailed for two years for not paying his ex what he was ordered to pay in the divorce has highlighted just how serious the implications can be. If your ex is failing to comply with the terms of your divorce settlement, contact a knowledgeable DuPage County, IL family law attorney to review your options for enforcement.
