San Jose Contempt of Court Lawyers
After a divorce court makes the final decision on the terms of the divorce, child custody, alimony, or visitation, both parties have to abide by the ruling. If either party violates the terms of the agreements, that party is considered to be in contempt of court and could face consequences, including jail time. The agreements in divorce cases are put in place to protect the interests and legal rights of the parties involved in an equitable manner reflective of the situation. If they are broken, everyone might suffer.
If your ex-spouse is not abiding by the agreements set in the divorce agreements involving custody, alimony, child support, or visitation, you may wish to hold him or her in contempt of court. A qualified attorney can help you to seek enforcement of these court ordered terms. Contact the San Jose contempt of court lawyers of the Law Office of Daniel Jensen, P.C., at 408-296-4100 today.
