How can a mediated settlement agreement be enforced

Depending on the type of settlement, there are many ways to enforce a mediated settlement agreement. If the issue is child support, it can be enforced by a petition for enforcement which could mean jail time for the respondent if the court finds him in contempt. If the issue is property, a similar enforcement action may be appropriate although without the remedy of incarceration. Each case should be evaluated on its merits to determine the proper procedure.
