Any action at all taken by a non-Jewish court to further or encourage the deliverance of a Get, specifically including the application or even threat of application of a financial penalty (even with no possibility of jailing) that will result in case of non-delivery of a Get, including even a previously contractually agreed upon financial payment for not giving a Get, results in a Get Me’usa according to Halacha and specifically described in S”A.
