1 Lawyer Answer

A: This would normally be pursued in a Contempt Complaint to enforce the provisions of the Divorce Judgment and Separation Agreement. If the Court finds that the failure to comply was not willful or a clear violation the Court could grant some additional time to comply if t he circumstances justify that but the Court will not set aside the property division itself.
