Contempt of Court
It is illegal to violate a court order, and that includes those orders from family court. The state of California deals expeditiously with any individual found to be in violation of court orders, especially those that involve children. If you are being held in contempt of court or want to hold your ex-spouse in contempt of the Stockton family courts for violating a post-dissolution order, the Stockton family lawyer can help.
A person can be held in contempt of family court for violating any order of:
- Child Support
- Child Custody
- Child visitation
- Orders to Pay Debts
- Orders to Hand Over Property
- And more...
By the time most clients come into the office of the Stockton family lawyer, they have already tried to work out their problems with their ex-spouse or parent of their child. But the truth is that legal action is sometimes the only way to get a person to follow a court order.
The Stockton family lawyer will first file a motion with the court to officially notify the judge that a violation is occurring. The court deals especially harshly with violations of orders for children. Failing to pay child support on time could result in the loss of a driver’s license, jail time, and a number of other consequences.
The court can also assist a client that is having difficulty receiving the transfer of property and the resolution of other financial matters.
