Support Enforcement
|
|
Divorce settlement agreements are legal documents, and can be enforced under strict penalties of the law. The Law Offices of Thomas & Associates knows that divorce, custody and support orders are not always followed. This is why we are competent in aggressively pursuing enforcement of family law orders.
|
|
Enforcement actions seek to force the noncompliant party with compliance of a court order (i.e. payment of child support, payment of spousal support, adherence to a visitation schedule, etc.). Consequences for a non-compliant party can include fines, jail, or the suspension of a professional license. If you are entitled to support, visitation, or property under an agreement or court order but are having trouble enforcing it, rely on The Law Offices of Thomas & Associates.

Contact us at 877-479-7970, or e-mail us at info@law-thomas.com, to arrange for a confidential complimentary family law consultation.

Q: What is dissolution of marriage?
|
|
A: Rather than referring to "divorce," California law refers to "dissolution of marriage." Both terms refer to the process by which a marriage between parties is terminated and their respective legal rights and obligations regarding property, child custody, and child and spousal support are determined. There is no fundamental difference between what is called "divorce" in another state and what is called "dissolution of marriage" in California.

Q: What is a no fault divorce?
|
|
A: Traditionally, divorce was granted on the basis of some marital misconduct such as adultery or physical abuse. In these cases the "guilty" spouse was punished by getting a smaller share of the couple's property or being denied custody of their children while the "innocent" spouse was rewarded for being faithful to the vows of marriage. In a no fault divorce, however, both parties agree that there is no "fault" involved in the grounds for divorce. California is a “no fault” divorce state.
