As a divorced single parent, family law attorney Brian Moskowitz combines firsthand familiarity of divorce with more than a decade of legal experience. From our offices in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, we provide family law services to individuals throughout the state of Florida, including the South Florida communities of Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Wellington, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach and all of Palm Beach County.

If someone is not fulfilling his or her obligations under a current order for child support, alimony, visitation / time-sharing or another family law issue, you may have legal remedies to enforce your rights. For example, a family lawyer can file papers to compel action for nonpayment of child support, nonpayment of alimony, failure to follow a time-sharing schedule, failure to remove a spouse's name from a mortgage, or failure to liquidate assets.

If you are in a situation where the other party has failed to honor the obligations spelled out in the divorce decree, you want a divorce attorney who will be an advocate for you. Attorney Brian Moskowitz is that type of divorce lawyer. He personally meets with his clients to discuss the details of their case and he will help you to understand your rights under the law. He believes in doing what it takes and he won’t let anyone take advantage of you. He also offers set prices rather than hourly billing for each service provided, including enforcement and modification cases. 

Each enforcement dispute is unique due to the individual circumstances involved and the original court order. The general process is to file a petition asking the court to declare the violating party in contempt and grant any available remedy. If a party's failure to fulfill their obligation according to the existing order or judgment is due to a factor that they cannot voluntarily control (such as the loss of a job), the court is not likely to hold them in contempt. However, if they willfully do not fulfill their obligations, the court will impose penalties. When nonpayment is the issue, the court has numerous ways of ensuring compliance including taking IRS tax refunds, placing liens on property, telling employers to take payments from paychecks, taking unemployment funds, and taking worker’s compensation funds.

At the Law Offices of Brian M. Moskowitz, we represent individuals on both sides of enforcement disputes. If you wish to enforce the obligations set forth in your family law order or judgment, we can help you recover unpaid support and perhaps interest as well. If you have fallen behind on your obligations, we may be able to help you avoid the worst consequences and may even be able to reduce your obligations through a modification proceeding. A modification case is where one party requests the court to modify an existing order or judgment. 

To discuss the unique circumstances of your case with a knowledgeable family law attorney, contact us today by phone at 561-369-4481 or by filling out our online form. We do our very best to return your phone call the same day but at a minimum we promise to return your call within 24 hours.
