Wow...How vague.

Okay...Lets see...A MA is a court ORDER and "violations" of said ORDER will/could result in anything from a "slap on the wrist" to a jail sentence, depending on the scale of the violation. In order to pursue? One only has to violate the order and the other party can/should pursue a motion to show cause for contempt.

But that is ONLY if the Agreement has been made an order by the Court. If it is just an agreement -- not yet court ordered -- then there might be something to be done due to a breach of the contract if it qualifies as a contract.
