Collecting on the Decree: Post-Judgment Enforcement in Family Law

A decree is only as good as its enforcement. Learn to choose among contempt, income withholding, and liens, deploy QDROs as collection tools, execute bank levies, and break charging order deadlocks when a debtor-spouse controls an LLC.

Course Overview

The Decree Is Not the Finish Line

2026-10-09 12:00:00

Winning the decree used to be the hard part. Now enforcement is where family law matters are won or lost. The federal income withholding order form is changing in the 2025–2026 revision cycle. Obligors increasingly hold wealth in retirement accounts, bank deposits, and LLCs that resist ordinary collection.

The missteps are costly. File a contempt motion that modifies the decree, and it will not survive. Delay a QDRO, and the malpractice exposure is yours. Levy the wrong account, and exemptions defeat the levy. Transferred assets raise the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act. Miss judgment renewal deadlines, and the decree stops being collectible.

This two-session program delivers a practical decision framework for matching the remedy to the nature of the obligation, the obligor’s assets, and the specificity of the decree. Attendees leave with a working framework for selecting, sequencing, and executing enforcement remedies across retirement, bank, and business assets.

Choosing the Right Enforcement Remedy: Contempt, Income Withholding, and Liens

This session covers the three primary post-judgment enforcement remedies in family law — contempt, income withholding orders, and property liens — with a focus on selecting the right tool for each enforcement scenario. Attorneys will learn the civil/criminal contempt distinction, current federal IWO requirements including the 2025–2026 form revision, and how to perfect and deploy liens and receivership against non-compliant obligors. Participants leave with a practical decision framework for matching the enforcement remedy to the nature of the obligation, the obligor’s assets, and the specificity of the underlying decree.

Collecting Against Retirement, Bank, and Business Assets After the Decree

This session examines post-judgment enforcement against retirement accounts, bank deposits, and business interests following a family law decree. Attorneys will learn how to deploy QDROs as collection tools, navigate bank account levies and exemptions, and overcome the structural barriers charging orders create when a debtor-spouse controls an LLC. Attendees leave with a working framework for selecting, sequencing, and executing enforcement remedies across all three major asset classes.
