Contempt & Post-Decree Enforcement
Contempt/Post-Decree Enforcement
Contempt/Post-Decree Enforcement
When a party willfully fails to comply with or abide by an Order of the Court, such as a final decree, settlement agreement, or parenting plan, the remedy is a citation of contempt. If a party does not timely pay alimony, or child support, or does not abide by the division of property provisions laid out in a court order, the party in willful non-compliance can be ordered to cooperate or face incarceration and/or payment of the other side's attorney's fees.
Our attorneys can assist you with enforcing prior orders and in brining non-complying parties into compliance with those prior orders through filing for contempt.
