Legal Question in Family Law in California
Family Law: Respondent violated Settlement Stipulation
Hi. I am the Petitioner in a family law
case that was heard in the Los
Angeles Superior Court last summer.
We ''settled,'' but the Respondent
has flagrantly violated terms of the
stipulation. What do I do now? What
form do I need to fill out or whatever
to get this back before the judge?
Thanks.

Unless the Judgment in this case has been domesticated in Maine, this is a query that would really need to be sent to a CA attorney.

You might be able to enforce the settlement by bringing a contempt action.
