How does a separation agreement get enforced?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
It depends what you want enforced. Generally, you would file a motion to compel, though that is often a waste of time and you might as well file for contempt of court for failing to follow the agreement. If it is something like signing a document, the clerk of the court often can sign for the other spouse if they are refusing to cooperate. If you choose to hire a lawyer to help, courts often grant attorney fees for having to take action to enforce the agreement. I hope this helps.

How do I claim my portion of my ex husbands retirement?

What you need is a "QDRO" - Qualified Domestic Relations Order. You can ask the plan administrator for a sample QDRO, but there are generally options that can drastically affect the way you are compensated, so you should definitely talk to an attorney about it before you submit it to the court.

Can I petition the court to have waiting period waived in Colorado?

If you are referring to the 90 period for a final decree, the answer is no. Technically, this a statutory limit on a judge's power - not a waiting period.
