Enforcement of Court Orders in Minnesota

Going through a divorce is a life-altering event. Not only are you separating from the one you originally planned to share your life with, but depending on the reason behind the divorce, divorce proceedings can be extremely emotional and very costly. There are also important legal issues which must be resolved as part of a divorce, and in especially in complex divorces & property division, getting both parties to come to an agreement can be difficult and emotional.

In cases such as this, the court may be forced to issue court orders to one or both parties to enforce the court's decision. Additionally, court orders including ex parte orders or Orders of Protection may also be issued, so as to prevent domestic abuse or spousal abuse during or after the divorce proceedings are finalized.

Following through with the enforcement of these court orders unfortunately can be quite difficult. If, for example, your spouse has been ordered to pay alimony or child support and either doesn't pay, or refuses to pay, it can put you in a serious bind. Dealing with such issues, while you are trying to care for a minor child and/or get on with your life, can be seriously frustrating. Worse yet, in cases where one parent refuses to allow the other parent their court approved visitation rights, further legal battles could be imminent. Should an abusive spouse be in violation of a protection order, law enforcement may need to become involved.
