enforcement of court orders

Enforcement of court orders means ensuring that a legal decision or ruling is carried out effectively. When a court issues an order—such as paying a debt, returning property, or following a custody arrangement—it has the authority to take steps to make sure it happens. If someone doesn’t comply voluntarily, the court can authorize methods like fines, wage garnishments, property seizures, or other legal actions to enforce compliance. This process helps uphold the rule of law and ensures that court decisions are respected and implemented fairly.
