Comments:
When you have entered into an Agreement with another person or when the Court has entered an Order or Judgment it is expected that the parties will comply. However, far too often that is not the case. If your ex-spouse or partner is not paying child support or alimony as ordered by the Court; or is not doing something the Court has required them to do, then you can take action to force compliance. As an experienced divorce and family law attorney, Attorney Allen of the Allen Law Group, P.C. has filed hundreds of contempt actions. If you find yourself in this situation, you don’t have to just stand by hoping the other person will eventually comply.
An action for contempt may be appropriate where the offending party has demonstrably disobeyed a court order. A few common examples include: failing to pay child support or alimony as ordered by the Court; violating the terms of a child custody order or the provisions of parenting time; refusing to leave the marital home when ordered to do so; etc.
There are two types of Contempt actions, civil and criminal. The overwhelming majority of contempt actions are civil, which means the purpose is to coerce the disobedient party into compliance with an existing order or Judgment. Criminal contempt is punitive in nature and designed to punish the offending party for their disobedience. Again, most contempt complaints are civil and are filed to enforce compliance. To achieve a contempt ruling we need to show that there was a clear and unambiguous Order or Judgment and an equally clear and undoubted disobedience.
As a divorce and family law attorney with over seventeen years’ experience, Attorney Allen can help you through the process to assure you get the best possible result. Don’t wait any longer.
