San Diego Post Judgement Motions Lawyers

Post Judgement Motions

If you need to modify or enforce your California court order, you can achieve by either making an agreement with the other party or filing and requesting a court hearing. This is particularly useful if you want to seek the court's help to change or enforce a divorce judgment or a parental rights and responsibilities order, which could determine child support and visitation rights.

Before requesting a hearing with the court, it is best to first attempt to reach an agreement with the other party. If you are able to reach an agreement, a Stipulation and Order needs to be signed by both parties and by the judge/commissioner. This agreement is only enforceable if done correctly, filed and signed by the judge/commissioner. If you are unable to reach an agreement, the next step is filing a motion to get a court date. Since both of these require knowledge about family law proceedings it is best to hire a knowledge Wallin and Klarich California family law attorney to assist you.

There are primarily two types of post-judgment motions you may need to file in California:

• Motion to Modify: This is a motion that you can file if you need to make any changes in your court order.
• Motion for Contempt: If the other party fails to comply with the court order, you can file a motion for contempt. The court will address the non-compliance and can either sanction or criminally penalize the non-complying party.
