How does a separation agreement get enforced?

Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)

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.

Is our marriage void if my wife was married at the time?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
Yes, if one party is still married to someone else the marriage is prohibited and therefore void. Strictly speaking it is only "voidable" because you probably need to get a judicial declaration of invalidity to protect yourself. If the purpose of you question is based on wanting to keep the current relationship intact as a marriage, you should simply go and get married again.
