Post-Decree Enforcement Attorneys in Lake & McHenry Counties

At AKL Legal, LLC, our experienced family law attorneys in Grayslake, Illinois, are dedicated to helping clients enforce existing court orders and protect their rights. Whether you need assistance with child support enforcement, spousal maintenance, or parenting time violations, we use every legal tool available to compel compliance and uphold the terms of your divorce decree.

Child Support and Spousal Support Enforcement in Illinois

When a court order for child support or alimony is in place, you have the right to expect timely payments. Unfortunately, nonpayment or partial payment of support is a common issue that can cause financial hardship. At AKL Legal, LLC, we represent clients throughout Lake County and McHenry County in seeking enforcement of support orders.

If the paying party has failed to comply, we can file a motion for indirect contempt of court, which may result in serious penalties, including wage garnishment, fines, or even jail time for willful nonpayment. Our attorneys also understand that sometimes a change in financial circumstances—such as job loss, illness, or injury—can make compliance difficult. In these cases, we can help you pursue a post-decree modification to ensure that court orders remain fair and realistic.

Enforcing Child Custody and Parenting Time Orders

Disputes over child custody and parenting time can be emotionally charged and stressful. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for one parent to violate court-ordered parenting schedules. Common examples of noncompliance include:

  • Denying the other parent scheduled visitation

  • Keeping a child longer than the agreed time

  • Failing to return the child as scheduled

  • Taking a child out of state without permission

  • Ignoring restrictions or conditions set by the court

 When these violations occur, our Grayslake child custody attorneys at AKL Legal, LLC can step in to protect your parental rights. We can petition the court to enforce the parenting plan or, in serious cases, request a modification of custody or parenting time in the best interests of the child.
