CONTEMPT

If your Ex is not following a court order, you can force your Ex to follow the court order by filing an action for Contempt.

If your Ex is found in Contempt, he or she may also be subjected to fines, attorney’s fees, and jail time.

If your Ex has filed an action for Contempt against you, you need to immediately schedule a consultation with an experienced trial attorney to evaluate your case. Your money and freedom are at stake.
