It is possible to enforce the court order by invoking the power of contempt when a spouse refuses to:
- Meet his or her child support obligations
- Allow the other parent visitation with the child
- Make ordered spousal maintenance payments
A judge can order a person to pay a fine or even send him or her to jail. A court can also clarify an order. Depending on circumstances, a party can use several forms to enforce an order, including arrears and garnishment (of wages).
If someone is violating a court order and you seek to pursue enforcement action, it is important to have an experienced law firm dedicated to your interests and well-being. We are ready to bring our experience to work on any enforcement issue. We will work quickly to gather evidence and prepare the necessary court filings to protect your legal rights and best interests.
It is important to realize that in the case of a joint managing conservatorship, rights are not necessarily equally split and the court may configure conservatorship based on how it sees fit. We can help with issues such as:
- Ensuring you pay or receive a fair amount of child support
- Establishing paternity so you can have a relationship with your child
- Negotiating visitation agreements for grandparents
- Represent you in SAPCR proceedings so you can maintain a relationship with your child
