Going through a divorce is probably the most devastating event two people can go through. It’s not only dissolving an emotional relationship between two people, but it’s also splitting up a family. It requires numerous determinations regarding child custody, support, and property and asset division.
Contempt of court comes into play when one party does not comply with a court order – when he or she violates the court order. When an individual is found guilty of being in contempt of court, he or she is subject to consequences, such as fines and/or jail time.
If your spouse is refusing to comply with an order set forth by the court after your divorce, there is something you can do. It is in your best interests to contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney who can work with you and help you to get your situation resolved in a timely manner.
