FAQsHow Can I Enforce My Child Custody or Support Order?

When a parent violates the possession and access orders contained in a final divorce decree or a custody agreement, he or she can be held found in contempt of a court order. If an individual is found in contempt for violating a possession or access order, he or she can be placed in jail and/or ordered to pay the other party’s attorney fees. You can also ask the court to give you additional periods of possession and access to the child to make up for the time you were denied access.

Even after your family law case has been settled and final orders have been put in place, there often are disputes about child support, leaving you no option but to seek legal action. We recommend that you turn to our attorneys for the enforcement of child support.
