Contempt
Dealing with Failures to Follow Family Law Court Orders
Court orders need to be followed. When a party fails to follow a court order like payment of child support or alimony, provision of health insurance, adherence to a Parenting Plan, etc., the Court can use its powers of contempt to re-establish and ensure compliance.
Reese-Beisbier & Associates advises clients about contempt issues that arise after a family law order has been entered by the Court. When the opposing party is not complying as ordered, our firm acts quickly to assist clients who need help enforcing the order by filing the appropriate action – including a request for attorney’s fees – and seeking relief as quickly as the law provides.
