Dear Attorneys,
My wife and I physically separated about a year ago. However, we never filed for divorce and just wrote up an agreement between the two of us. Now, my wife is saying that I can’t see my kids. How do I enforce our agreement? I have no desire to go to court.
Sincerely,
Court Adverse Christopher
Dear Christopher,
We hear from a lot of potential clients that they are worried about going to court. We understand that. Court can be intimidating and frustrating. However, in order to actually get divorced, and/or effectuate an agreement, you do not have a choice. You may want to speak with your wife and see if she agrees to file the agreement the two of you reached with the court. If so, you may be able to file that with the complaint, waiver of service, and a variety of other accompanying documents and have the Court accept your divorce. If that happens, you can then subsequently file a Post-Judgment Motion for Contempt to get a Court Order for her to follow the agreed upon visitation schedule.
