Contempt & Enforcement Attorney in Orlando, FL

What is Contempt of Court and Enforcement?

A Motion for Contempt/Enforcement requests that the court force a party to comply with the terms of a previous order. If a party has failed to comply with a court order, the case may be reopened, and a Motion for Contempt/Enforcement may be filed. For example if you are being denied access to timesharing or a party is failing to pay child support.

Contempt Proceedings

Typically, a Motion for Contempt is appropriate when a party has failed to pay either court ordered child support or alimony. In a contempt proceeding, if the court finds a party to be in contempt, the court may for example suspend their driver’s license, revoke their passport, or even put them in jail with a purge amount, or an amount they must pay to be released from jail.

Enforcement Proceedings

Typically, a Motion for Enforcement is appropriate when a party has failed to comply with Equitable Distribution. Equitable Distribution is the distribution of property and debt between parties. If the court finds that the party has the present ability to comply, the court will enforce its order against the party and order them to comply.
