How Do I File for Contempt in Georgia If My Ex Does Not Comply With Divorce Decree?
Full Question:
Answer:
When a court order isn't followed, a petition for contempt may be filed in the court that issued the order. If it is unclear whether the property was ordered to be transferred to your name or not, a motion for clarification may be filed. A request may also be made to have the court to order the noncomplying party to pay for the losses caused by the failure to comply. The court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce its orders by holding the noncomplying party in contempt of court. A party may also file a Judgment on Rule for Contempt, which is a prepared judgment ready for the judge to sign, to further the court's ease in making a determination. A certificate of service is filed along with the petition to prove that the petition was served on the opposing party.
