Family law cases are complex and unique. However, there are many instances where you would want to take legal action even after getting a divorce. For example, you can be denied visitation by your ex-spouse. In that case, you might want to file an enforcement case. This case will address specific violations of your divorce decree, and it is a formal request to the judge to hold the other party accountable for those violations.
In the video, Atty. Tyler Monahan of Turner-Monahan, PLLC, guides us regarding filing enforcement suits. If you are facing a divorce and struggling to view the situation from a legal perspective, contact a family law firm like Turner Monahan to get some assistance. All case evaluations and suggestions made are in the light of Texas Family Law.
Enforcement Cases In Texas
Enforcements can range and deal with many different provisions in order. That’s the underlying order, which you must be able to enforce, whether it be child support possession or access to a geographic restriction, depending on your case.
But if one party is filing a motion to enforce against the other party, the party responding does have a right. So, for example, if jail time is being requested of six months or less in the state of Texas, they do have the right to request an attorney.
The court may appoint an attorney depending on the financial situation. In addition, the court can have a hearing on whether or not somebody is in a position where they’re financially unable to have an attorney.
Many times, people will retain a firm like Turner Monahan to represent them in their enforcement matters. You must have an attorney anytime you have enforcement, especially when jail time is involved.
You have many different rights available to you, along with provisions in the family code that allow attorneys to look at motions and possibly pick them apart where they’re not done correctly, sometimes even getting thrown out altogether.
But you should contact a firm like Turner Monahan to discuss exactly what rights you have and how someone like Turner Monahan can assist you in representing you, whether it be as a respondent and a motion to enforce or a petitioner and a motion to enforce.
