My spouse has not been complying with the Court’s Order. What can I do about this?

In many cases, a spouse can move to enforce a court order by filing a Petition for Rule to Show Cause. Such petitions typically require the non-compliant spouse to appear before the Ccurt and demonstrate why he/she should not be held in contempt of court for failing to abide by the court’s order. In many cases, if the non-complaint spouse is found in contempt, the spouse who filed the petition will be awarded his/her attorney’s fees.
