Georgetown Child Support Enforcement Lawyer
A final agreement reached in divorce proceedings is issued as an order of the court. If either spouse does not follow the arrangements set out by the court order, the other spouse may seek enforcement of such a court order from the court. At that point, the non-conforming spouse can be held in contempt of court.
Contempt is not only reserved for non-payment of child or spousal support. Individuals may also be held in contempt for:
- Failure to sell an asset and divide the proceeds if ordered by the court
- Failure to provide opportunities for visitation
- Abduction or failure to return child after visitation
- Parental relocation without permission of court
The consequences of being held in contempt of court can include:
- Financial penalties, including payment of the other person's legal fees
- Garnishment of wages
- Jail time in cases of repeated or intentional violations of the order
Our divorce and family law attorney can assist you in pursuing enforcement of court orders and can also advocate on your behalf if you are in danger of being held in contempt.
