Yes, when a divorce is finalized in Rochester, the orders issued by the court are to be followed to the letter.
If your former spouse is disregarding the terms of the Judgment of Divorce, you are entitled to relief.
Usually, just bringing the matter to the attention of the judge is adequate to resolve the issue, but sometimes the court will have to take additional steps to see to it that specific property is relinquished as ordered.
Your former spouse may be subject to various sanctions, including jail time for being in contempt of court.
Once the consequences of their intransigence are clear, people usually make a concerted effort to take care of the problem, and you’ll get your property back in a timely fashion.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer know that your Judgment of Divorce should be the final word – but too often isn’t.
