CONTEMPT

When someone fails to follow a court order, you have the right to ask the court to enforce it. Whether it's unpaid child support, unpaid alimony, refusing to follow a parenting plan, or failing to complete an action required by a divorce decree—such as refinancing a home or transferring property—a contempt action may be the appropriate legal remedy.

To succeed in a contempt case, you must show that the other party willfully violated the court's order. If the court finds the other party in contempt, it may require them to comply with the order, reimburse you for attorney's fees and court costs, and, in some cases, impose additional penalties, including jail time.
