Enforcement measures can also be used for children’s issues as well.
The most frequent children’s issue that contempt/enforcement is used for is enforcement of child support. But there are other remedies available for enforcement or contempt dealing with time-sharing issues and parental responsibility matters.
We can also represent those that have contempt and enforcement hearings instituted against them and need representation. Contempt and Enforcement proceedings can be used for a myriad of different legal issues in the family law arena. However, contempt is usually not available for property distribution issues.
