Understanding Willful Contempt In Your Family Law Case
A judge may find a person in contempt if they choose not to follow an order despite having the ability. This process requires a formal motion and a hearing to prove the violation.
Our enforcements or contempt attorneys focus on getting results while maintaining professional environments. We identify common scenarios for contempt such as the following:
- Support nonpayment: Failure to pay court-ordered alimony or child support can prevent you from meeting daily expenses and basic needs.
- Time-sharing interference: Denial of scheduled time-sharing or parental responsibility rights can damage the vital bond between parent and child, and ignore parenting plans.
- Property transfer refusal: Refusal to sign transfer documents for marital property or failure to list a home for sale as required can violate your final judgment.
- Injunction violations: Disregarding standing permanent injunctions or other restrictive orders can threaten the safety of your family.

Effective Enforcement Of Orders And Your Mediated Agreements
Enforcement actions allow the court to use specific tools to ensure compliance. Florida judges can garnish wages, suspend driver’s licenses or order jail time.
We work quickly to make sure your modification and enforcement needs are met. Our lawyers initiate several family law enforcement actions, including:
- Compelling financial compliance: We file motions to ensure the other party understands the legal consequences of ignoring monthly obligations.
- Seeking legal fees: Our team requests that the noncompliant party covers your costs so you do not suffer a financial loss for enforcing your rights.
- Enforcing mediated settlements: We strive to enforce the specific terms of signed agreements to protect the integrity of the deals reached during mediation.
- Coordinating with agencies: We work with various state administrative bodies to recover past-due child support or alimony through tax intercepts or property liens.
Our enforcements or contempt attorneys understand that your financial security depends on these payments. We use our extensive experience to fight for the results you need with a hands-on approach. You can trust our compassionate team to treat your case with the same effort and care we would give our own family.
