Reasons to File an Enforcements for Violating Property Division

When your former spouse fails to meet the requirements of your divorce and withholds property or assets that the court has allotted to you, they are not just being selfish – they are causing serious damage to your finances and well-being, and they should be punished for it.
Some of the ways your former spouse may violate a property division agreement include, but are not limited to:

• Refusing to put property up for sale: If the divorce agreement requires a piece of property be sold in order to split the profits between you and your former spouse, there is only so much wiggle room in that agreement. While it may be acceptable if the property is not selling as soon as was hoped, if your former spouse is refusing to even put the property up for sale, we can force them to do so through an enforcement.
• Refusing to divide proceeds from a sale fairly: If your former spouse did sell the property but is now either trying to hide the full value or refusing to divide the income as required by the divorce agreement, we can make them abide by that agreement with an enforcement.
• Refusing to pay debts: If your former spouse has been required to pay off certain debts as part of the divorce agreement, those debts must be paid. If they are trying to avoid payment, the courts can force them to pay.
• Refusing to hand over property: If the courts allotted you the house, the car, the boat, or some other property, your former spouse has to vacate the property and leave it to you in a timely manner. If they are refusing, we can pursue an enforcement action.
• Refusing to provide insurance: Some divorce agreements include a former spouse continuing to cover the other former spouse with their insurance. If you were expecting your ex-spouse’s insurance and they remove you, we can make them add you back to the plan.

Once we prove your former spouse is failing in their duties towards you in regards to your divorce agreement, we can pursue a number of paths that force them to complete the property division as the court expected. Consequences for failing to comply with a court-ordered division of property vary, but can include being held in contempt of court and even a jail sentence.
