When a court issues a divorce order or other family law order, it is more than a recommendation or general guideline. Court orders, including divorce orders, child support orders and child custody orders, must be followed.
If your ex-spouse has refused to comply with the provisions of a divorce decree, you can file a motion asking the court to hold your ex-spouse in contempt of court. When a person refuses or fails to comply with the provisions of a court order, they can face severe penalties, including financial penalties and even jail time.
