Re: Violation of Mediated Divorce
If you have an agreement which is signed by both parties which is witnessed and notarized and then one of the parties does not comply with the agreement, then you must file a Motion to Enforce the Agreement with the Court which explains the situation. You will also have to have a hearing on this motion and schedule it accordingly.
Re: Violation of Mediated Divorce
A "mediated" divorce is enforced in the same manner as a divorce which is not mediated. If a support issue is involved, a motion for contempt is the appropriate action. If a non-support issue is involved, a motion for enforcement is involved. There are government agencies that will assist you in recovering support obligations if you cannot afford legal assistance. You are advised to consult with such agencies or a family law attorney who may advise you without initial fees.
