Contempt and Enforcement of Orders

Contempt of Court Orders for Family Disputes

If a parent fails to follow a court order in a family dispute (whether it involves visitation, domestic violence, or distribution of assets)the court may impose both criminal and civil contempt of court remedies to force compliance. Depending on the order violated, you may face anywhere from a fine or jail time. Failing to follow a court order is a serious matter.

Enforcement of Court Orders

If the other parent failed to pay spousal or child support or other financial obligations, you may petition the court to order fulfillment of their financial obligations. Besides seeking a contempt order, our lawyers will petition the court for a wage garnishment order, and determination of child support arrearages. If you are owed money from a delinquent spouse or partner, you deserve payment.
